Why are we as Americans paying for lifelong retirement for politicians? Why can they have a separate better insurance than most Americans including our veterans?
Why do they receive huge pensions while they vote to squander social security? Why are they able to vote for their own pay raises, insurance changes, and pension changes?
I think all of these policies should be changed. The American people are struggling working multiple jobs to survive and they are receiving these huge salaries and perks for serving themselves. Most of them work other jobs and use their political stance to profit in other areas.
If they all had to have medicare and draw social security it might change their views.
That would take a big bite out of our overall budget. We might also get politicians who want to work for the American people instead of profit off of them.
