Department of Homeland Security chief Tom Ridge is contemplating retiring in November regardless of the election outcome, CNN is reporting.
Why?
Because he needs to pay for college for his two teenage children. You know, because his government salary of $176,000 per year isn’t enough to put two kids through college and still live on.
Apparently, Ridge is also making mortgage payments on a $900,000 house. Did he not get the memo that government jobs don’t pay that well? Still, one would think a two-income family bringing in mid-six figures would be able to comfortably put about five kids through college.
Yet another example of the stellar talent Dubya is putting into positions of power.
