An amazingly dumb statement, even for Livingston. They leave Congress when they're in their 60s, 70s or older (and their kids are in their 30s and 40s). Strange time to start thinking about "providing for the family's financial security." Besides, most of them are lawyers or other professionals with plenty of skills, experience and connections. Does Livingston think such people can't make a good living without becoming high ticket lobbyists?

And never forget their outrageously generous pension benefits that allow some congressional veterans to collect a million bucks a year in pension money. I think most Americans gag when they hear Livingston try to peddle that horse hockey.
