#2 I believe she keeps that income for life, including her Cadillac health care plan. All paid for by the voters. The live ones, of course. Not the dead ones.

Congressional pension is a pension made available to members of the United States Congress. As of 2019, members who participated in the congressional pension system are vested after five (5) years of service. A full pension is available to members 62 years of age with 5 years of service; 50 years or older with 20 years of service; or 25 years of service at any age. A reduced pension is available depending upon which of several different age/service options is chosen.

Would I be going out on a limb by saying this could be a large part of our problem ? (AOC, front row third from left)

#7 IMO Boom-Boom likes the attention and the money too much to do that. Besides she just got another term. I'll take hope with a little salt, however.
