Congressional Reform Act Proposal

Created by T.H. on October 17, 2013

1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office, and receives no pay when they're out of office.
2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional Retirement Fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.
3. Congressmen/women can purchase their own retirement plans, just as all Americans do.
4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or three percent.
5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.
