Please check out the actual retirement system (& health and life insurance programs) --- for Congress --the facts, not somebody's interpretation. Yes, relative to those of some people, they're quite generous. But compared to some unions and especially some private employment contracts big business has for major execs, the Fed Gov't (even Congress) benies are chump change. Compared them to CalPERS, GE, Morgan Stanley.

I could be wrong --- but I'm not.
