we need to eliminate the pensions and health care of career politicians and create term limits. then this country can get back on track to being for the people and not for the crooked lawmakers and special intrests.May 9th, 2017Nicolette C. from Indianapolis, IN writes:
The Congress needs to look within for budget cuts prior to taking anything away from the people who elected them. Let's start here: 1) Any Senator or Representative receiving a "Generous pension" should be ineligible for Social Security. 2) Senators and Representatives should receive EXACTLY THE SAME HEALTH CARE as all other Americans, NOTHING MORE. 3) All salaries should be cut by 40% immediately. Let them live on what the rest of us do. And donate that salary cut to building housing for the homeless. Benefiting from taking money and healthcare away for the people who elected them should be a criminal act.REPORT COMMENTS

In terms of benefits, Congress enjoys the Cadillac while the American people are stuck with the Tin Lizzie...or a broken-down go-cart with a wheel missing. Cut your own damn benefits first!! We're sick and tired of paying for these do-nothing members of Congress and the Senate!!!REPORT COMMENTS

We as a people are finally wise to the corrupt behavior that continues today in congress. Term limits, of course. Pay cuts, absolutely! They should be reviewed on their performance. They should not get all of pay until out of office that might make term limits more appeling to them. Something has got to change! The time is now. Stand up people. Stand up!REPORT COMMENTS

It's time that "public servants" stop enjoying so many perks during and after completing their terms in congress. They get 72% of their insurance paid for now and if they roll back ACA/Obamacare they still have a fallback plan for their insurance unlike millions who don't. They are so out of touch with the lives of the millions of Americans who are living on the edge. They need to feel our pain. Maybe they will be more aware of the consequences of their actions while serving the American People.REPORT COMMENTS

All elected public officials, local, stae and Washington DC should have to takke the new Health plan..instead of the luxiorous coverage they now enjoy. If its good for us - it should be good for them. They deserve a pay cut.REPORT COMMENTS

While most federal, state and private industries have scaled back benefits, especially health and retirement, they still continue to enjoy more and more. Shouldn't there benefits reflect those of their average constituent? If the constituent has to pay into it, work for it, shouldn't they? That's the only way they can feel what their constituents are feeling.REPORT COMMENTS

The benefits that these politicians receive far outweighs their actual worth. Very few people in the work force receive any where near these benefits, and their worth far exceeds their pay and the few benefits that may be available. Politicians who want to cut programs for the most vulnerable Americans, need to have all of their benefits and pay cut first.REPORT COMMENTS
