President's pay cut highlights burdens of office
Veteran Washington observers note President Eisenhower faces a $39,000 reduction in take home pay from a salary of 150,000 while Truman enjoyed a previous tax exemption. Congress rejected extending the $50,000 expense allowance, leaving Ike paying about 95,000 in taxes. Retiring presidents receive no pension, unlike inactive five star generals or Truman’s small reserve pay.
