Politicians should not be paid salaries nor receive raises in salary after leaving office. This includes no benefits or security for their protection or their families etc. Make only certain leadership roles i.e. the next president in line-should something happen to current administration -able to receive salary. All other positions and titles should be cut from payroll after leaving the position and job. It’s not right the american people are supporting their lifestyles when they are no longer serving or working for us. We do not get paid when we leave a job, until we die, so the same should apply to government. Imagine the money that will be saved to use in better ways. It’s not our responsibilities to pay for them until they die. Tell them to pay their own way after they leave their job just like we have to!
I completly agree with this …what other jobs give them paychecks after they leave …I know I didnt PLUS FREE HEALTH CARE ALSO …it is absurd and should be banned …We would save alot of Money
I agree completely. Also, their pay should stop whenever they cannot agree on a budget. Every time this happens, many federal employees pay is at risk, except for theirs.
Wait a damn minute… I completely forgot this was a thing! If America stoped doing this, I wonder how much money that would free up. Maybe they could clear student debt this way.
Obviously, that math might not work but the way I see it, if we’re paying lifetime salaries for all those in office AND those retired from office, that’s a lot of money that could be used to return the favor back to the people.
