Lady Bird Johnson

WASHINGTON -- Weep not for George Bush.Like all former presidents -- and we sure have a lot of them these days -- Mr. Bush will be able to preserve much of the lifestyle to which he has grown accustomed. Courtesy of the U.S. taxpayer.More than $20 million will be spent next year on the care and comfort of Mr. Bush, Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, Gerald R. Ford and Richard M. Nixon, making them the most expensive wards of the state in history.Even Lady Bird Johnson still receives a modest pension and some other benefits.
