Why do these congressional “servants” get pensions? They should be the the case study for 401k plans. I am sick of these elitist crooked snots.

Strip him of “his” pension and get rid of all congressional retirement. We can not afford it.

There's a big deal now about how lots of real jobs are being replaced by non-paying internships, many of which are for congressional staff positions.

If Weiner ever worked as an unpayed intern, because he wanted to help out his country sooo much, then maybe he should give back all of the money he ever made in politics.

That way he can show us how much he cares about his constituents.

Why do these congressional “servants” get pensions?

Because they can vote themselves pay raises and huge pensions. This is even more insidious than the entitlement populace vote those candidates into power that will give them a large welfare payment.
