Paying Off the Debt

http://thinkprogress.org/2009/10/27/bush-3500-speech/

According to this blog, Bush (W) was paid $100K for approx. a 28-min. speech -- $3571/min.

This one shows Clinton making $6600/min.

Together, they could make $10,171/min, or $610,260. Since they have become such pals on humanitarian causes, I recommend they look at the dire future of America's babies today & in coming decades, saddled w/ $13.3T in debt.

Speaking fulltime, they could earn $1.27B/y. At that rate, it would take them a mere 10,265 y to pay off the debt's principal (no telling how much the interest would require), so I recommend they get started right away.
