Disgusting when their pensions are more than my husband's military pay. End Congressinal and presidential pensions: let them count on soicial security, 401k's, IRAs, etc. like the rest of us.

Excellent idea!

Ruth , you don't know the half of the Congressional Pension System.... what you're seeing is just the TIP of the iceberg. Congress is so very immoral , arrogant, self-centered and out of control because WE the PEOPLE have given them the POWER and MONEY to morph themselves into European Royalty figures and Hollywood Movie Star LookAlikes and Rock Stars . We have been looking the other way and giving them this power and money with NO oversight. These people in Congress are the PEOPLE's hired help and their job is to MIND THE STORE and nothing else. We need to stay on them like a chicken on a June Bug to get them and their arrogance back to the question " Who's minding the store ?" By the way, any HONORABLE CONGRESSMAN would be standing up RIGHT NOW demanding the EXPULSION of Condidit.

You are absolutely right. We have less to save & invest for our own retirements because we're paying for these folks to live like kings & queens.

Now who is it gets to decide who gets a social security and who gets a huge govenment pension?

That would not be congress would it?

Do you really expect congress to reduce its benefits package?

Do you realize that in 6 months Condit will get less publicity than Jon Benet? You do remember who Jon Benet was don't you?

Will Condit's kids get federal government jobs? I wonder if Daschle will find them nice hundred grand jobs on the Senate staff some where. Maybe young Condit can take care of Boxer's shorts. That might be a big help to the California Senator. That is, if she doesn't wear briefs.
