Should The First Lady Receive a Salary?

This is NOT my question.  According to Jim Geraghty at National Review Online the question was asked during a commercial for NBC Nightly News run during Meet The Press.  It's interesting to me to notice when these questions come up.  I don't recall hearing anything like that during the past eight years.  The article at National Review lists all the benefits of being first lady, plus a breakdown of presidential expense accounts and salary.  The concept of paying the first lady is an odd idea.  Do corporate executives' wives get paid?  It almost sounds as if you want to pay the wife for being married to the man.  I realize that being first lady has a lot of responsibility, but I also realize that it comes with a lot of people who help with that responsibility.  It seems as if there are some people in the press and in government who stay up at night just to think of ways to spend more money!
