90. She said that for political reasons when she was still in office. Now it may come in handy. And if

you go into the article linked, it says it was the decision of the children. It is a done deal, it's not a a matter of anyone saying 'thanks, but no thanks.'

With legal issues and possible loss of wealth here, it would be feasible for her, Marcus and the children, to take an extended holiday soon.

And like every characer who screams 'socialism' here, she and the family will find a way when she can get a benefit, just like Ayn Rand did. The 'producers' always feel they are entitled.

She can still complain like the baggers protesting the ACA did:
