Well, at least some of her lost benefits and perks will hurt..From a Citizen for Wasteful Gov't spending website..:)

"In addition to their salary, members benefit from perks that include free outpatient care at certain hospitals, frequent-flyer miles from government travel, free meals and vacations from lobbyists and business groups, access to first-class gyms and tennis courts, taxpayer-subsidized life and health insurance; and a special pension program.

The benefits of lawmaking extend beyond time in office; nearly half of former lawmakers who are eligible move on to lucrative careers in the lobbying industry."

I just can't stop laughing over the idea that starting on Jan.3, she will have to have a visitor's badge to walk around in a Congressional building, hehehehehehe! Let's see her "forget" that badge, and slap an officer after getting stopped, hehehehehe!
