McCain is worth $100 million, but still collects $2000/mo. in Social Security?

I usually try to avoid politics in a public setting, but I simply can’t believe it.

From the San Fransisco Business Times Article:

Republican presidential candidate John McCain cashes his monthly Social Security checks despite calling the federal program “a disgrace,” the Associated Press reports.

“I’m receiving benefits,” McCain told campaign reporters, but added, “the system is broken.”

In 2007, he received benefits of $23,157 from Social Security, approximately $1,930 a month.
