Thank you for the facts on the pensions:

I was in the Navy for 4 years and received an honorable discharge but no pension, which is understandable.
Members of the military don’t qualify for a pension unless they serve for 20 years, unless this has changed
since I was in – in the 1960s. Members of the military and members of Congress and the Senate are
all Federal Employees and should all receive the same benefit package including the same health care package.
Politicians certainly are not any more trust worthy or honorable than members of the military who have received
an Honorable Discharge. All too dammed many politicians are far less trustworthy and honorable than
the typical military man or woman who has earned an Honorable Discharge.

All new incoming members of Congress or the Senate should receive the exact same retirement and benefit &
health care package as members of the military and they should be required to work the same number of days
each year as members of the military. If they can not agree with this then dam’it don’t run for office, also
absolutely no Muslims should be allowed to run for office because they can not t***hfully take the oath to
defend and honor and obey the United States Constitution since their allegiance is to their Quorea.
(I know I can’t spell it but I don’t give a **it)

Thank you for your service. Don’t quite understand, actually I do, why they still have pensions while most in America have 401K’s. They should have no perks, none. They are workers paid by us. They need staff. They should pay them. In this day an age when I don’t have to leave my office to attend a meeting they need multiple dwellings and offices in D.C.. no wonder they don’t relate to the rest of us n
