Why isn’t there a congressional windfall elimination provision?

SS Deductions from whatever source should be paid if the party lives long enough to collect.

Your SS deduction is not your money anymore.

If you have private investments, your family gets it minus what government steals.

SS deductions + benefits are lost.

Why do you think they want to kill off all the old timers with this pox? Cuomo, Lamont and others are in on the kill.

My wife’s and my Social Security payments are reduced by the windfall prevention program because we were both covered by our state’s teacher retirement program. That means that SS benefits we both earned before teaching are reduced by I think 40%. In fact she has to pay CMS/Medicare every year to cover her Medicare Part B.

It’s important that we don’t double dip. On the other hand, President Obama no doubt receives an Illinois pension for when he was a state senator, a pension for his time as U.S. Senator and another as President. Don’t know of Social Security sends him money too.

CONgressCritters (and their staff) have their own special retirement plan. They would like you to believe otherwise.
