The Clinton's have made about $109 million in the last 7 years alone. What is nuts is she is somehow suggesting they had some hard time after she negotiated an $8 million dollar book advance in December of 2000:

"We came out of the White House not only dead broke, but in debt," Clinton told Sawyer, referring to the hefty legal fees incurred during their White House years. "We had no money when we got there, and we struggled to, you know, piece together the resources for mortgages, for houses, for Chelsea's education. You know, it was not easy."

What a poor, struggling woman! Just like your average lower-middle-class person, 'struggling'

Oh, but this part is good:

[She] noted that the former first couple had to make “double the money because of, obviously, taxes.”

Fair share, Hillary, fair share...

Liberal Logic 101:

He was a governor/president. She was a lawyer.

Both millionaires making very good money and yet they "struggled after leaving the White House."

The Clintons couldn't handle their own money, but liberals want you to assure you they will be super competent at handling yours!

Just like Obama...they think Americans are stupid and sadly are probably right.

Sigh.

December 16, 2000 (announcement of $8 million dollar advance) is earlier than January 20th, 2001 which was the date that the Clinton's "left the White House".

Oh, and Billy Jeff got $10 million for his book in August 2001.

Totally struggling on $18 million in 8 months!

In 1978 and 1979, lawyer and First Lady of Arkansas Hillary Rodham engaged in a series of trades of cattle futures contracts. Her initial $1,000 investment had generated nearly $100,000 when she stopped trading after ten months. In 1994, after Hillary Rodham Clinton had become First Lady of the United States, the trading became the subject of considerable controversy regarding the likelihood of such a spectacular rate of return, possible conflict of interest, and allegations of disguised bribery,[SUP][1][/SUP] allegations that Clinton strongly denied. There were no official investigations of the trading and Clinton was never charged with any wrongdoing.

Bill Clinton created new laws that helped "Tyson Foods" to be the biggest company in Arkansas. The owner, Don Tyson, received a loan from the Clinton-owned ADFA, but never had to pay back.

I'm really starting to believe there is something wrong with this woman's brain

[h=1]Hillary Clinton Says She Isn't 'Truly Well Off'[/h]
"They don't see me as part of the problem," Clinton said of Americans who are upset about income inequality, adding, "Because we pay ordinary income tax, unlike a lot of people who are truly well off, not to name names; and we've done it through dint of hard work."

Bill Clinton has reportedly made over $100 million in speaking fees since leaving office.

Meanwhile:

[h=1]Some Democrats fear Clinton’s wealth and ‘imperial image’ could be damaging in 2016[/h]
Some influential Democrats — including former advisers to President Obama — said in interviews last week they fear that Clinton’s personal wealth and rarefied, cloistered lifestyle could jeopardize the Democratic Party’s historic edge with the middle class that powered Obama’s wins.

“I don’t know whether it’s just that she’s been ‘Madam Secretary’ for so long, but she’s generating an imperial image,” said Dick Harpootlian, who recently stepped down as Democratic Party chairman in South Carolina, which hosts an early presidential primary.
Harpootlian, who backed Obama over Clinton in 2008 and is a longtime ally of Vice President Biden, added: “She’s been living 30, going on 40 years with somebody bringing your coffee to you every morning."

Dead broke:

Bill Clinton has been paid $104.9 million for 542 speeches around the world between January 2001, when he left the White House, and January 2013, when Hillary stepped down as secretary of state, according to a Washington Post review of the family’s federal financial disclosures.
...
The financial industry has been Clinton’s most frequent sponsor. The Post review showed that Wall Street banks and other financial services firms have hired Clinton for at least 102 appearances and paid him a total of $19.6 million.
