    What are the values of the salaries of, respectively, the British Prime Minister and the American President?

    Question #58979. Asked by Linus_337. (Aug 23 05 1:15 PM)

    		British PM - 121,432 pounds + 57,485 pounds (as a member of Parliment) = 178,917 pounds.

    US President - $400,000 as of 2001.

    		I think the President should take a paycut.

    		At current (as of 24 AUG 05) the American President's salary is equivalent to 222,271 GBP

    Or... The Prime Minister makes 321,979 USD

    While $70,000 is a lot of change, the values are closer than they appear at first glance.

    I should also add, that both probably also have discretionary funds for a variety of expenses that cover their duties... e.g., the grocery budget probably is paid for by the government, at least in a large part... but, I don't know that for a fact.
