How about we arbitrarily `tighten-up' the generous pension and health plans of retired representatives/senators?
Or decide we want to pay half what they're leeching from us now, but receive double, and at age 59. I don't know what it is that makes Congress think it can just change a defined benefit retirement entitlement for working men and women. They don't have any trouble doling it for any and every purpose other than wage-earners' retirement.
The Congress: the only company in the country that votes its own raises.

Also it's own retirement plan, as well as that of government employees..

They have their own "private investment" plans, much like 401K plans...
Simply pick plan A, B, C...

Not good enough for the American People, though..
