For Dr. Sowell... a big swing, and a miss on this one.

The solution is to eliminate pensions for elected officials.

The purpose of getting re-elected has changed from doing good for the district...it is about qualifying for the pension and then feathering that nest for as long as you can.

An elective office is a contract” position. You are elected and serve for the specified duration. If you win re-election then good for you you serve until the contract expires. and so on. There is no obligation from the taxpayers to a pension for these people.

Let us examine S#!t for Brains Schumer, This POS has never worked a day in the real world in his entire life.

He has a pension from:

the NYS assembly

The NYS Senate

The US House of Representatives

The US Senate.

He will live like a king when he decides to retire.

That’s a great point, but the corrupt money gleaning machine in Washington would never give up their gleaning and their pensions. We’d have to sweep them all from office somehow and start over, as the Founders mentioned so clearly about removing and replacing a tyrannical government.

It is becoming more and more obvious that we are living under a lawless tyranny.
