White House spokesman Tony Snow intends to leave his job before the president's term ends in January 2009. Speaking on Hugh Hewitt's radio show last week, Snow, a Fox News Channel personality who took a serious salary cut to become Bush's press secretary last year, said he needs more money than his $168,000 White House wage. Snow, who is battling a recurrence of colon cancer, did not name a departure date.
"When I have something to announce, I'll let everyone know," he told us via e-mail.
I'm wondering two things.
(1.) How much is the deductible for health insurance obtained through the White House?
(2.) How much money does Tony Snow need to make? $168,000 a year would make life quite comfortable for me.
$168,000 might make the average person comfortable for a little while. That is, until that upped their mortgage, bought new cars, shopped for new clothes, and etc. After a short time, I'd wager that the average person would be under as much financial duress with $168,000 as they would be with $40,000. That is, if I were the type to waste my earnings on frivilous things like wagers, which I'm not. ;)
