Hmm well I guess some people are slowly waking up.

These people are quick to refer to SS, Mcaid and Mcare etc as "handouts" and "entitlements" when they themselves are the biggest welfare queens in the country.

SALARIES of the House Speaker: $223,500, Majority and Minority Leaders: $193,400, President Pro Tempore $193,400. Regular members make $174,000. ALL PAID BY TAXPAYERS!

PENSION: As a federal employee, members of Congress can qualify for a pension in addition to Social Security. A member vests a taxpayer funded pension after five years of service and is eligible to receive a pension as early as 50. Full pensions are normally conferred at 62. The irony here being they don't think regular folks should have a pension plan and as we all know most employers in America have done away with company sponsored pension plans that some of our grandparents and parents had during their working lives. That's all gone and now that's left up to people who for the most part make less than $50,000 a year but you're expected to sock away money for your own retirement via IRAs and 401K plans that most hourly paid people can't fully fund.

The average retirement salary annually is roughly $12,000 per month for former members. Federal pensions are classified as "Private Information" because you don't want the very people you're fleecing knowing what you get.

That doesn't include the millions these crooks make from outside deals which violates ethics laws but they do it via loopholes. Some of these people are employed in their districts by federal contractors for selling out the government to the highest bidders both at home and abroad.
