Whereas Congress currently makes a salary of $174,000 dollars a year, for LIFE.
Whereas Congress continually conceives of pay cuts and reductions in retirement for Federal and Postal Employees.
Congress hereby accepts a 66% cut in pay and elimination of LIFETIME SALARY as their retirements. Instead, Congress accepts the current TSP and 1% a year retirement system offered to Federal and Postal Employees.
In this way Congress accepts the responsibility for Leadership by Example.
