[QUOTE]Originally posted by buckstalker: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by The Bigfoot: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by buckstalker: [qb] #1. OK Term limits then...2 terms max and we as their employers set their wages based on performance... Pensions - ZERO #2 & #3. I, along with most Americans have never received any "free money" from my employer towards retirement and neither should congress #4. See #1 #5. You don't see health care as a major expense??? You are joking right? I challenge you to get a few quotes on healthcare coverage for your family. #6. Demand that congress be held accountable for any laws that they break [/qb][/QUOTE]Maybe not pensions zero, but pensions in line with the rest of state and federal government workers would be a good thing. The problem with two terms max is that you end up an average of 50% freshmen learning the system. The sincerity will hopefully be genuine in most but I can't imagine that most will be prepared to handle the economics of a national scale without time and a mentor. But that is a personal perception which I could be wrong on. #2/3: No? It's called a company match and or pension. You can say "I worked for that money" but the truth of the matter is it amounts to the same thing as government retirement plans if not to the same scale. 5: Healthcare. There are 100 members of the Senate and 435 member in congress. No. I do not see their healthcare as a significant cost to the individual taxpayer in a nation even if the plan is gold plated. I have already stipulated that the ideology behind it is worthy of debate however. [/qb][/QUOTE]OK, I'll give you pensions, but only after 10 or more years of service... In return I want Term Limits (2 terms)...I would rather have 50% freshman, than a house full of "good ole boys" that have corrupted the system They don't make very good mentors anyway... (this also takes care of the pension problem) ;) #2/3: Most Americans today are not getting a "company match" or a pension, and neither will Congress under the new Bigfoot/Buckstalker Act #5 Healthcare...it's not about "how much" the taxpayers have to fork over to pay for Congress Mens/Womens healthcare...It's about how much they have to pay for their own... I think we got her nailed down... [/QB][/QUOTE]
