Congressional retirement gold mine funded entirely by your tax dollars

Members of Congress qualify for full pension benefits after just five years while collecting lifetime payments from taxpayers.

For my next job, I want to be a Congressman.  Getting paid to accomplish nothing and fully vested pension after 5 years is the American Dream.

Why work hard all your life when you could be a Congressman?

Oh yeah, I can see Congress jumping right on this, first they will study and debate it and then they will determine that the current compensation hasn’t kept up with inflation and unanimously vote to increase it.
