Mike Coffman (R-Colo.) have recently introduced separate proposals for the elimination of pension benefits for members of Congress.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I have no illusions that this will even make it out of committee let get a vote, but I welcome the discussion it will generate since these pig-fuckers are so willing to cut military pensions and health care. The problem I have with the proposal is that it will only eliminate the pensions of members not currently serving. It should end all pensions immediately. That way they&#8217;ll all term-limit themselves by doing something productive for a change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two Republican Congressmen have proposed to cut, if not end, Congressional pensions according to The Hill; &hellip; <a title=\"Now you&#8217;re talkin&#8217;\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=27730\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Now you&#8217;re talkin&#8217;<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[89],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27730","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-congress-sucks"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27730","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=27730"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27730\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=27730"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=27730"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=27730"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
