I thought your post was good enough to send out to my email list. The response from a friend:

"Congress gets near full salary pensions with full benefits
for life, after just one term!"

This is simply not true...If author asserts falsehoods as if they were researched facts and he could easily determine the truth, is anything this guy says worth paying attention to?


He's got a point.

Congress' retirement benefits are an outrage, but some people will read what you wrote and disregard it because a one or two-term congressman gets no pension, and the others don't start collecting until they've met an age requirement.
