Congress does not pay into social security but they have authority to juggle the funds and pay people that have't put any funds into it. Congress's retirement is paid for by the taxpayers out of lthe general fund which is a catch all fund that they keep well supplied. Maybe if they had to pay SS they would take better care of out retirement fund. Also they should cut out all the extra bennies they get and not collect their retirement until the same age the rest of us do. Members of congress are just like the rest of us they put their pants on one leg at a time. This job is no more important than the job you hold.

Let's take a step back on this one and simplify it a little bit.
If YOU were a member congress and got to choose your own retirement plan, would you choose:
a) A lousy retirement plan.
b) A great retirement plan.

True, but the keep stealing from the Social Security Fund, wasn't it 2 Billion this year, never pay it back, then complain it is going to run out. Well yea, they stole all the money, which I pay into, and have for 50 years!
They are all well paid and have great Bennie's, but not like the corporations and health care. Anthem's CEO made 2 Million with a 12 million dollar bonus, for taking our money and giving some back to us! He has a better golden parachute than any member of Congress, and that is one fairly small HMO! He then gives our money to his stockholders, and deny us benefits!
They both rob from the poor!

This is the same group of scum that voted themselves raises while ignoring the minimum wage for years. The only thing they care about is themselves, and the lobbyist dollar.
