If you get elected to National office and serve one term they will pay you the same salary for life? That doesn't sound right.

2. Remember the fresh new Congressman who showed up to |
|
begin work in DC and started whining about when his health care benefits would kick in?
I think this is a great idea, and it would be interesting to see how they dealt with such a demand.

3. I don't agree with the 100% pension after they leave office |
|
But I have no real problem with those salaries while they're serving.

4. I don't have a problem with the salaries either, but who the Hell |
|
gets 100% pension except these people and CEO's? That's ridiculous since it's our money and all they can think about is cutting senior's benefits, like ss & Medicare. I bet when they go out for a beer together they just laugh their asses off.
