    Biden collects rent from Secret Service
    $2,200 a month for cottage use


    http://www.washingtontimes.com/n…

    The U.S. Secret Service does more than protect Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. — the agency also pays him rent.

    Since April, Mr. Biden has collected more than $13,000 from the agency charged with protecting him and his family for use of a rental cottage adjacent to the waterfront home he owns in a Wilmington, Del., suburb.

    Mr. Biden, listed not as vice president in federal purchasing documents but as a “vendor,” is eligible for up to $66,000 by the time the government contract expires in the fall of 2013, the records show.

    • I don't understand whats alarming about this. It's rental property. Do we expect him to let the Secret Service for free?IRNlun6
    • Because he's a public official, should we expect him to loan his rental property to the secret service?IRNlun6
    • yes, he shouldn't be charging a group who's tax dollars are paying their salaries and his.
