Members of House/Senate congress cannot retain a separate and unequal pension and costofliving increase as the voters. Laws rearding socialsecurity/medicare and pensions cannot be passed by them unless they share the same retirement/health effects.
Why is this important?
Congress regularly legislates laws on social security, medicare, medical, federal/union/private state pension rights WHILE the whole time being seperate and inequal from those systems they invoke on the tax payer paying THEIR salaries. Only two years of work as a senator give congress full golden-parachute rides their whole life while they vote to freeze cost of living increases to police/emergencyworkers/military and they are not affected by the same draconian reductions they pan out.
Let's require congress to work a full 20-30 years before vested in the SAME pension the rest of us taxpayers work.
