Adjust the health care benefits and pension of politiican's to be commensurate with the rest of working America. This shift of focus from the wealthy 2% would reap major financial savings from now until the end of time.
Why is this important?
I am tired of hearing about the monetary and other benefits that are allotted to our law maker's and policy maker's - all of congress, governors, legislator's - every politician while the rest of us go without. I have no pension, I have no health insuraNCE. I have worked since I was 11 years old, starting out babysitting - and sometimes working three jobs to survive. These people got us into this economic mess - its time they sacrificed something. Just like every other American who has worked an honest job and then retires with barely a scrap of what they paid into Social Security - they should be getting the same.
