MONEY Here's how much taxpayers spend to support former presidents Paper clips, phone bills, and movie channels are just some of the expenses American taxpayers pick up for former presidents. Author: Bill McGinty Published: 9:12 AM EST January 19, 2021 Updated: 6:29 PM EST January 19, 2021 CHARLOTTE, N.C. — At noon on Wednesday, Jan. 20, President Donald Trump will join the four living former presidents in that exclusive club and once again become a private citizen. That means taxpayers will be on the hook to subsidize a lot of Trump's expenses, just like they do for the others. In 1958, former President Harry Truman was living only on his World War I Army pension and told Congress he couldn’t afford postage stamps for "official business." Congress responded with the Presidential Pension Act of 1958, giving Truman a retirement salary of $25,000, some benefits and a staff.

🧬 A Stem Cell Breakthrough in Japan Could Bring New Hope to People Living With Paralysis! ❤️ Researchers at Keio University in Tokyo have reported encouraging results from an early-stage stem cell trial involving four men with severe spinal cord injuries. The team used specially developed neural precursor cells created from reprogrammed adult cells, hoping to help repair damaged nerve pathways. After treatment, two patients showed improvements in their paralysis classifications, while one regained enough strength to stand independently and begin walking rehabilitation. Even more encouraging, researchers reported no serious treatment-related side effects or tumors during the follow-up period. However, this is still an experimental treatment involving only four patients. Much larger clinical trials are needed to establish its safety and effectiveness. For millions of people affected by spinal cord injuries, these findings offer a reason for cautious optimism. 🥹 Could stem cell therapy change the future of paralysis treatment? #StemCellResearch #MedicalBreakthrough #Japan #MedicalScience #RegenerativeMedicine #HealthcareInnovation
