Why do congress members still receive salary and medical benefits forever after only 5 years of service!! When regular citizens leave their office (otherwise known as their job) they do not continue being paid!! -

It seems there are bills in congress to cut everything taxpayers receive, e ends free pin he's to school children, for crying out loud. Yet, you NEVER seem even a hint of anything resembling a cut in congressional member's perks. It's time to stop letting the wolves decide who gets to take what they want from the henhouse.REPORT COMMENTS

Isn't it ironic that they want to cut all the programs specifically designed to help the needy. It seems as if congress wants to commit fiscal genocide on the less fortunate.REPORT COMMENTS

Let's take things a step further: 1) No buying, selling, or trading of stocks from themselves or from immediate family while in office. This creates a conflict of interest. 2) Any special security or protection once out of office will be paid for by their own pocket book, and not the tax payer. This will promote their doing a good an honest job while in office. Don't want to live in fear? Then you better not steal! 3) They are not allowed to run or start any charities abroad. They can only be started and fully managed in the USA, with every donation visible and traceable from its origin. 4) Zero contributions allowed for their campaigns from corporations or individuals with ties to corporations. 5) Candidates for office will only be allowed to raise and spend $1M for their campaign, which will last a total of 3 months before the election. 6) Candidates will not be allowed to promote themselves through television morning talk shows or Late Night Cable shows. The only forum will be through unedited televised debates and standard journalistic Q&A. No more Hollywood polishing!!! 7) Each elected official will need to go through a quarterly audit of both their personal and buainess wealth, if they or their family members run and organizations or companies. Too many of our elected officials enter the political arena penniless and come out mega millionaires. This must be constantly investigated and monitored. If you want to work for the people that badly, this should not be an issue for an honest representative.REPORT COMMENTS

Why aren't these costly benefits and privileges that congress receives at taxpayers expense, examined as part of the spending reductions that so many in Congress are promoting for it's citizens? Has any one in Congress ever spoken about this?REPORT COMMENTS
