Put them into the Social Security plan with the rest of us and then watch how fast they would fix it.

I agree 100%! Have always said that myself.

Holy shit! I had no idea that is what is happening. I really wish I didn't know that, because I have long been an opponent of the crooks in Washington wasting our tax dollars and screwing us out of our hard earned savings with the Social Security program. But now I'm just damned angry as hell. The problem is we'll never get representation on this issue, because every one of our representatives themselves would block us from getting reform. Damnation, how frustrating!

I wish I knew more about politics. There has to be a way to get a referendum on this thing from popular demand. I bet there is.

One approach I advocate is that you only give retirement credit to senators and representatives for years when the federal budget is balanced. As of now they would get essentially nothing under my plan. But they could sure earn retirement credits next year.

The fact that they are in Washington long enough to need a retirement plan galls me.
