I didn't see in the article how many terms a congressman must serve to have 80% pension.
Forty two years, but that benefit ended for those first elected during the 1984 cycle. Same as for Federal Employees (ended in 1983).
FERS pension is calculated at 1% PER YEAR.
There is NO WAY IN HELL congress-ctitters serve 80 years. Now, if you factor in FERS and SSI, then roughly 40 YEARS could equate to 80%. This is over and above all the $$$$ they stole while in Congress. ANY wonder WHY they are ALL multi-millionaires??
TERM LIMIT THE BASTARDS and NO PENSION!!!
