Members of Congress should retire on the same Social Security and Medicare as the common folk they represent.
Why is this important?
Our elected officials do not have to live on Social Security and Medicare, so they cannot identify with the social concerns of people who must survive on a limited income. If they were made to live on a retirement of Social Security and Medicare, our damaged system would be fixed in a hurry. They should be given a reasonable income, not the huge paychecks they now receive, and they should retire on the same income as the common folk who elected them.
