Not even Congress can clean up the system. Only the people can get it cleaned up, putting on pressure from the country at large.

After just one two year term in Congress, Representatives can receive a pension that is more than $15,000 per month.

After 20 years of dedicated service an E-7 in service to our country, if he survives, may receive a pension of $1,000 per month.
