Establish an independent commission to identify and report to the public, the special benefits received by members of Congress that are not available to the general public, including unusual salary provisions, expenses, pension, trading and lifetime benefits that are independent of tenure in the Congress..
Why is this important?
Congress has set itself above many laws that apply to all of us in order to provide the members with undtold benefits re. health insurance, salaries, pensions, insider trading rights and many other benefits without regard to length of service, accomplishments and work ethics. An independent commission needs to investigate and report on these to a largely unknowing public. The resulting outcry should bring reform.
