"Wu continued to collect his $174,000 annual salary while in office, including more than $3,300 since he first announced he intended to resign. And because he stayed for the debt ceiling vote on Aug. 1, he will maintain health insurance for the rest of the month, plus 31 days to transition to the federal government's temporary plan.
Wu could earn more than $1 million from his congressional pension plan and benefits over the course of his lifetime, according to an analysis by the National Taxpayers Union. "

Democrats are like Republicans now big time......resign baby!!! I wonder why the change. Although the last few years the Democrats have not been sticking around but some Republicans are like that Vitter.....too bad he has to stain the Republican party with “but Vitter stayed”.....Ugh. Oh and he voted for that mess to this week. FREEPERS will still stick up for him though.

Are you with me Doctor Wu
Are you really just a shadow
Of the man that I once knew
Are you crazy are you high
Or just an ordinary guy
