Now you’re talkin’
Two Republican Congressmen have proposed to cut, if not end, Congressional pensions according to The Hill;
In an effort both to identify cost savings amid the nation’s growing debt crisis and to give federal lawmakers more credibility in addressing related financial issues, [Tim Griffin (R-Ark.)] and Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Colo.) have recently introduced separate proposals for the elimination of pension benefits for members of Congress.
I have no illusions that this will even make it out of committee let get a vote, but I welcome the discussion it will generate since these pig-fuckers are so willing to cut military pensions and health care. The problem I have with the proposal is that it will only eliminate the pensions of members not currently serving. It should end all pensions immediately. That way they’ll all term-limit themselves by doing something productive for a change.

I’d be happy if they just modeled it after the military: 20 years aggregate service required for a pension (or 24 years for Senators) with the same health benefits.
Oh, they might just pass it – but since they exempt themselves from everything…
I am glad to see that someone from Arkansas has some sense. Since that bitch Blanche Lincoln can’t do anything but shove her head up Obama’s ass.
My first question after seeing this:
How soon are these guys up for re-election?
It seems things like this pop up when that time is near.
pig-fuckers? Why Miss Scarlett…how you do go on!
Let’em use Medicare and ban them from the VA or Military Hospitals unless they are a military retiree or Veteran.
They want retirement, let them pay into Soc Sec and get a check like the common people when they reach the proper retirement age, and if they are still in office at retirement age then hit them with the deductions like they would a common person.
Treat them like the people they are suppossed to be representing.
