A memeber of Congress after 15 years can get their pension at age 50 — bastards!!!

I thought they ‘get’ their money after only one term. Hope I’m wrong but this is Congress I’m talking about.

PLUS--the have been investing in TSP--the Thrift Savings Plan- for decades. it IS aprivate retirement fund; one Federal employee I know of personally had $50,000 in his TSP account before he died, after just 7 years of Federal employment. And he did not have the BIG BUCKS Congress critters have to invest in TSP.

But do you EVER hear mention of TSP?

No!--because it would make fools out of every politician who screams bloody murder about letting the "unwashed masses" have access to PRIVATE retirement plans.

Would love to see some real "investigative reporter" start looking at what the liberal Congress critters have earned through their TSP accounts--bet it's up into the hundreds of thousands, if not more!
