[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 1007578, member: 52972"] Interesting side note: I checked and found that US Senators and Congressmen are paid a salary of about $174K per year.....AND THEY GET THAT'S FOR LIFE???? Let's put term limits on Senators and Congressmen to no more than 2 terms and eliminate retirement pay and perks...or at least reduce it down a more realistic level that they would get if they worked for a civilian company for the same amount of years. If they worded for a civilian company, half of them would probably never be fully vested in the retirement plan. Some Congressmen and Senators complain that they must maintain two homes, one in Washington and one in their home districts. So, let them pay out of their own pockets for an apartment or house in Washington...You know they are using that as a huge tax write off anyway. There was even some complaints that Congressmen where not renting any housing while in Washington, and actually just sleeping in their offices. Some had installed hid-a-bed sofas and even refrigerators, microwaves, and hot-plates for cooking? They should not be allowed to use their government offices as a residence. I don't object to the salary they get, but the pensions and perks the Senators and Congressmen are getting is way too much and it's all at the tax payer's expense! Who gets a 100% salary for life after only serving for 4 years?? ...Rich [/QUOTE]
