I think we found where the cuts should be made! How about no life payments for starters ? Then consider no salary higher than the national income average.

now who says these retards dont deserve an ass whoppin come election time.
What the fuck are you talking about? Who are you going to elect that is going to undo this? Republicans?? ROFL
fuck you jagoff,just cause you voted for 0zero
All they have to do is undo half the regulatory and economic spaghetti-mess that Zero (fiddled while the US burned) installed ontop of our economy like some kind of Borg-bot and we’ll be off to the races.
You Dems don’t seem to realize… a large part of Reagan’s success was derived from undoing what stupidity had gone before him (including the stupidity of Richard Nixon, not to be overly partisan).

Well that an the ability to print unlimited money by exporting inflation to the rest of the world, something often overlooked.
Reclassifying ketchup as a vegetable to save on school budgets to pay for his cold war was another super classy move – fuck the children.
LOL @ “Jagoff.”
That word is one way to detect whether a guy is from Chicago or not.
_______
First of all, I don’t vote since I don’t even live in the USA. I am neither Democrat or Republican.
Secondly, as long as you idiots keep thinking this is a democrat vs republican problem the politicians and those that own them will continue to win. Both parties like their pork and regulations, albeit different flavors.
And yes Jake, the economy was doing just fine under your Republican deregulation “a house for everyone” super star George – well played.
again,another misaligned thought about how “we” americans look at dems, and repubs. almost the same way “we” americans look at canada. the stereo type version
For life? Are you sure about this? I know thy have life payments and golden parachutes but I don’t think it’s equal to their salery.
Nevertheless I think their payments should be based on the strength of the economy over the following 10 years after they get out. That way they might care about long term solutions.
and they DONT pay into so-sec.
Cronk, that list isn’t accurate. The average retired congressperson’s pension is around $60K, and only after 20 years of “service”. Your point that they are overpaid, with too many benefits is completely valid, though. See: http://usgovinfo.about.com/od/uscongress/a/congresspay.htm
figures the numbers were not correct. should have done some homework b4 slapping up those numbers.
Man, there’s a lot of crappy info on the internet. A shame so much of it makes its way to IBC news.
They get paid during their terms, not for life.
They get a pension for life, though, if they have at least 5 years combined service as a member or employee of Congress.
Full retirement age is 62. That ought to be bumped up.
So easy for you to come here and shit on people who do an amazing job posting news every day.
Where the fuck is your blog? Your news stream? Get the fuck out of here troll.
dude,, cool it
lol
good work, cronk
Hey Cronk, happens to the best of us. I think the point is, after thousands of news stories, I can only think of two that were posted that were incorrect.
