Actually, its not. The central banks of the world like to keep inflation at exactly 2% per year. 2% inflation per year would be about 50% in 25 years. Why too much inflation is bad is obvious. Though I'd appreciate some deflation, there is actually good reason to prevent it.

That would wreak the economy, so central banks like to have just enough inflation to not do that. For whatever reason they calculated that 2% was the ideal.

@ The presidents salary before benefits is the 2nd highest tax bracket. After benefits it is the highest. Yes, we are talking about the super rich here and coming at it positively or negatively won't impact your ability to be struck by lightning.
@ Yes, I kinda of agree, it's impossible to everyone to get rich, so sometimes you should just work hard and at least try to get enough to have a confortable life, but alot of the times people don't even get the opportunities to make a high-paying job, even if they work really hard. People should try and do their best, but we all shoul have in mind that sometimes hard work isn't enough, sometimes we need luck.
$400,000 presidential salary in 2019 would be about $396,000 in 2019 dollars because the $400,000 starts at inauguration in January. As the year progresses with 2% annual inflation (assuming a linear function) that would be $392,000 at the end of December, for a rough average of $396,000 in purchasing power for the year.
I think it’s still gonna be the lady that’s going to be dressed different for each occasion, even if the lady is the president. Men formal dress codes, at least in the West, is pretty bland and dull in terms of style and color since it’s just a suit (usually dark colored), white shirt, and a tie (and for some reason, the tie that was mostly seen was red or blue). Ain’t nobody gonna notice any change unless they’re up close and personal.
The reason why the president pays some of those expenses is because they mirror whether a regular worker can claim the item as a tax deduction. Joe average cant claim a tax deduction for his work suit? Ok, then the president doesnt get a free work suit, he has to pay for his own. The logic is actually not far of that level of simplicity
Daniel Myers He is absolutely a politican. A politician is someone who’s job is related to politics and just because Donald isn’t your typical politican, doenst make him not one.
He avoided the Democrats going ballistic over him taking a salary that way. So of course he has to be criticized for flying Air Force One here and there -- just like every other president has done. I didn't vote for the guy, but darn, they just go completely overboard criticizing him. If he came out in favor of oxygen, they'd probably stop breathing in response. Or at least say they did. Pathetic.
Technically, he does "take" it, in the sense that it's paid out. But he doesn't put it in his pocket, rather donates it to charity. From a legal logistics standpoint (as in, there would actually have to be a constitutional amendment so Trump wouldn't have to collect his salary), it's just easier for him to take the money and then cut a check for the same amount as a donation - donating to a charity being more "useful" than just giving it back to the federal government.
@@PH_INFO_101 Oh, sorry; didn't mean to imply I thought it was a mis-statement; I was just emphasizing that he still technically "gets paid". But, you're right, it's a non-factor. Personally I think it's better that there is a fixed salary that must be paid regardless of political shenanigans, otherwise "how much salary are you going to take" will be an additional stupid political thing to fight over.
@@DJohnGrady I appreciate your response and I did not take any offense. The truth is, I was too lazy to type out the info that you took the time to. I appreciate your addition to my comment. That said, I believe there is a point of fact that of more importance. Barack & Michelle Obama entered the White House with a net worth of $1.3 million. Due to their minimal worth, Understandably, they decided to accept the presidential salary + perks. Here are some quick financial (Google) facts that blow my mind. 8 years of salary (2009-2016) = $3.2 million 3 years after leaving office Barack has a net worth of $49 million and Michelle has a net worth of $76 million for a combined net worth of $125 million I am not saying that the Obama's have done anything less than honorable in their financial endeavors. What I am saying, using the Obama model, "It is Good to be King"
Exactly what I was saying this man is dumb as fuck I just asked the women in my family about this and they literally said they wear what they want and don’t feel any expectations clearly not sexism
Yup. What a dumb fuck. Makes an entire video on how much US presidents get paid and can't or won't mention the unique situation with the current President's salary. You don't have to like the guy but cmon, this was just pathetic

Hey, I've got an idea: Define all US government wages as percentages of the President's salary, so that the lowest-paid government job is 10% of the president's salary and the highest paid is the president themselves. Then, in order for Congress to get a raise, they just raise the President's salary and give all other government employees a raise, too.
@@siddharthsrinivas6271 Which would result in the janitor getting $100 million. They'd be very popular with government employees. Maybe not so much with the taxpayers.

It's tough remembering 10 Downing Street's address!
I remember seeing a BBC story recently about a guy who lived at another, similar address in London (it was 10 Downing Lane or something like that) who kept getting letters from citizens addressed to the Prime Minister - so sometimes even the Royal Mail forgets 10 Downing Street's address!
Edit: Looked it up - it was 10 Danbury Street, in N1. Apparently, poor penmanship was to blame.
Ah, good ol Boris. Wonderful
I love your videos, i honestly watch them way to much
“Litte” 00:42
Next year...
How Much is the US President Paid?
More than I could ever hope to make...
@ Haha, yup. He just doesn't believe hard enough to enter the 1%. The structure of capitalism has nothing to do with it it.
@ The presidents salary before benefits is the 2nd highest tax bracket. After benefits it is the highest. Yes, we are talking about the super rich here and coming at it positively or negatively won't impact your ability to be struck by lightning.
@ Yes, I kinda of agree, it's impossible to everyone to get rich, so sometimes you should just work hard and at least try to get enough to have a confortable life, but alot of the times people don't even get the opportunities to make a high-paying job, even if they work really hard. People should try and do their best, but we all shoul have in mind that sometimes hard work isn't enough, sometimes we need luck.
@@LlamaKing9000 hmmm, is 400,000$ a year the super rich, when some are making that much and more a day?
@@Mollygan Jeff bezos is making like 200 MILLION a day. That's super rich.
$400,000 presidential salary in 2019 would be about $396,000 in 2019 dollars because the $400,000 starts at inauguration in January. As the year progresses with 2% annual inflation (assuming a linear function) that would be $392,000 at the end of December, for a rough average of $396,000 in purchasing power for the year.
Who else scanned that QR code on the meal voucher
lol
4:51 wait, but who’s the president in 2019??
Snoopy n’ The Buddies I don’t know you tell me.
Abraham Lincoln?
@@janiecechan2078 ohh if only
Pretty sure it's Gary.
You are all so stupid. The president is XxImKing69xX
"Your anger only makes me stronger" - that guy from wendover probably
I'm leaving a comment just to make this channel stronger
That part is funny as hell XD
"That's right commenters, your anger only makes me stronger." - This is why I love HAI.
the funny part is that no one is actually mad at him (at least, not for this video)
2:08 what happens if there is a First... Gentleman? Does the First Gentleman need to wear a different suit for each occasion?
I think it’s still gonna be the lady that’s going to be dressed different for each occasion, even if the lady is the president.
Men formal dress codes, at least in the West, is pretty bland and dull in terms of style and color since it’s just a suit (usually dark colored), white shirt, and a tie (and for some reason, the tie that was mostly seen was red or blue). Ain’t nobody gonna notice any change unless they’re up close and personal.
What could have been this comment before editing?

Gonna need to call Jeffrey Epst... **whoops!**
4:52
legit thought my screen had cracked
The reason why the president pays some of those expenses is because they mirror whether a regular worker can claim the item as a tax deduction. Joe average cant claim a tax deduction for his work suit? Ok, then the president doesnt get a free work suit, he has to pay for his own. The logic is actually not far of that level of simplicity
Naaah I think I'll just use the same password I used for my private email server before I deleted like 20,000 emails off of it
The current president accepted a $1 salary not the offical salary.
Twice what he's worth!
Jimmy Rustled America’s economy was always strong you muppet
And a single comment about that on the video.
So not only is he only getting $1.00
He still pays for all his own cheeseburgers.
What a guy!
Yeah and he refused to put his assets in a blind trust
@@shreyvaghela3963 What about in the 30's, the 70s, and late 2000s?
They dont become millionaires thanks to their salary, they become rich selling peoples rights to the best bidder.
Didn’t trump take a 1$ salary or is that wrong
Oliver Pritikin that’s correct. He’s not a politician, i.e., he’s not there to make money.
Now imagine if he tried getting Congress to set the next budget to a dollar officially. Now that would lead to all out hell in capital hill.
Daniel Myers He is absolutely a politican. A politician is someone who’s job is related to politics and just because Donald isn’t your typical politican, doenst make him not one.
@@tomasroma2333 - He was making a joke, lol. Sort of.
He avoided the Democrats going ballistic over him taking a salary that way. So of course he has to be criticized for flying Air Force One here and there -- just like every other president has done. I didn't vote for the guy, but darn, they just go completely overboard criticizing him. If he came out in favor of oxygen, they'd probably stop breathing in response. Or at least say they did. Pathetic.
It's not that complicated, currently. The answer is $0, since the current president gives his entire salary back.
now this is half as interesting!
Lol he thrashes on Wendover Productions so hard it's almost sad.
:,(
Thrashes who?
That's because wendover is pure garbage!
@@sparkyfister This basically is one of Wendovers channels.
@@springbok4015 whaaaaaat? I had no clue. Or i was being facetious. You decide.
Is it sexism if it's women that expect it of her.
Nice Now all the nuclear codes to launch nuclear weapons can be on dash
I am extremely disappointed you didn’t transition to the sponsor by saying “One personal expense the president may pay for would be dashlane”
AAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAHAHAHAHAHH!
For the Algorithm ❤️
I feel like you and wendover production is just like GBFF irl😂😂
AAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHH

Half as interesting taking shots at wendover productions. Either going to be a collab or a competition
2:13 Yeah, we men really care what the First Lady wears. Whenever I see the First Lady rewear an outfit I get really angry.
Oh but it is sexism. Perpetrated by women.

Donald Trump: This doesn't effect me because I can't read
Trump don’t get salary
“Litte bit more complicated”
Hello HAI mistakes!
Half As Interesting be like:
If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can ever imagine.
This guys transitions to the sponsorship part are way too smooth 😂
"Litte". Nice job Half as Interesting
For a second I thought I didn't know how to spell little
the current President isn't even once on this video lol
No, he doesn't want to mention Trump and get demonetised or accused of siding with him or against him politically.
the hellfire from mentioning him would probably take it off the algorithm
they increase the president's income to account for inflation more often than they increase minimum wage to account for... anything.
Question, how do you factor in that the current president does not take a salary?
Technically, he does "take" it, in the sense that it's paid out. But he doesn't put it in his pocket, rather donates it to charity.
From a legal logistics standpoint (as in, there would actually have to be a constitutional amendment so Trump wouldn't have to collect his salary), it's just easier for him to take the money and then cut a check for the same amount as a donation - donating to a charity being more "useful" than just giving it back to the federal government.
@@DJohnGrady Thanks for the response. I was kinda wondering if anyone would catch my mis-statment. That said, I guess it is a non-factor.
@@PH_INFO_101 Oh, sorry; didn't mean to imply I thought it was a mis-statement; I was just emphasizing that he still technically "gets paid". But, you're right, it's a non-factor.
Personally I think it's better that there is a fixed salary that must be paid regardless of political shenanigans, otherwise "how much salary are you going to take" will be an additional stupid political thing to fight over.
@@DJohnGrady I appreciate your response and I did not take any offense. The truth is, I was too lazy to type out the info that you took the time to. I appreciate your addition to my comment. That said, I believe there is a point of fact that of more importance. Barack & Michelle Obama entered the White House with a net worth of $1.3 million. Due to their minimal worth, Understandably, they decided to accept the presidential salary + perks. Here are some quick financial (Google) facts that blow my mind.
8 years of salary (2009-2016) = $3.2 million
3 years after leaving office Barack has a net worth of $49 million and Michelle has a net worth of $76 million for a combined net worth of $125 million
I am not saying that the Obama's have done anything less than honorable in their financial endeavors. What I am saying, using the Obama model, "It is Good to be King"
Topic: *exist*
HAI: "Who said you can't overdo everything to get more cash from the internet?"
She can choose not to wear new outfits . She wants to look good and seem trendy it's not sexism. It's personal choice
Exactly what I was saying this man is dumb as fuck I just asked the women in my family about this and they literally said they wear what they want and don’t feel any expectations clearly not sexism
Something tells me Sam from Wendover doesn't like Donald Trump
yes he doesn't
Yup. What a dumb fuck.
Makes an entire video on how much US presidents get paid and can't or won't mention the unique situation with the current President's salary.
You don't have to like the guy but cmon, this was just pathetic
savioblanc i mean, dumb fucks like you may be why? if he does or doesn’t he’ll get bombarded by hyper-political angry whiny shits accusing of him of picking a side. let the dude escape demonitization lol
besides, this isn’t a video about how much the president keeps, but their legal salary. it isn’t even relevant in the first place
“But first lets address the elephant in the room. His name is Gary.”
Subbed
I asked Siri and it said 400k per year in office so let’s see if this guy gets the same result
Hey, I've got an idea: Define all US government wages as percentages of the President's salary, so that the lowest-paid government job is 10% of the president's salary and the highest paid is the president themselves. Then, in order for Congress to get a raise, they just raise the President's salary and give all other government employees a raise, too.
I don't think that would work. Congress would just make the presidents' salary a billion dollars.
@@siddharthsrinivas6271 Which would result in the janitor getting $100 million. They'd be very popular with government employees. Maybe not so much with the taxpayers.
@@Roxor128 Yeah. If you give people to oppurtiniy to make their own salary they will exploit it. Just look at the scenario with insider trading in congress.
4:54 did anyone else think there was a pube stuck on their screen?
what the f word
Where is that 10 downing street?
3:40 i love this so much!
AAAAAAAARRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! helping you with the algorithm
I feel like it's not sexist that people expect the first lady to wear expensive clothes, because the first man, or husband or whatever, will inevitably be expected to as well.
I guarantee Kamala Harris' husband will not have anywhere near the level of fashion scrutiny as literally any other presidential spouse.
0:42 A *litte* bit more complicated
Just wanted to mention that. Guess you have to fill the annual mistakes video somehow.
