These people who were elected to represent the people, have put together a retirement plan that we, the taxpayer pays for. And they know we wont all stand up together, cause if we did, I would see that they are moved to social security and do away with their plan.
they would then be forced to fix social security and would do it in record time.

Congress has had control over the Treasury forever and has gradually granted themselves many perks.
