Much like over here in the UK, I find it ridiculous that ex-members of government have a pension equivalent to their salary whilst in office.

Lets assume that each election cycle, 50% of the MPs are swapped out, that there are 200 MPs, and that the standard MP's salary is £64K (I'm largely pulling these numbers out of my arse) - that would mean that every election cycle the an extra £3.2 million of tax payer's money is being spent.

No wonder we have an escalating deficit.

Unlike Senate Republicans, he actually does his job. It should come out of their pay.

I'll give him that if he gives up round the clock security for life which he signed back into law.

How about the American population give him a chair instead? An electrified one.

Fucking terrorist asking for a raise.

Well shit, I mean, his pension is basically half of what the current salary is. Who can live on a measly $200k a year, when everything else is paid for as well.
