In this day and age of turmoil and excess spending, it only seems fit that the politicians that work for the people, should be treated at the very least LIKE the people they serve. Government jobs are meant to be competitive with the private sector, not surpass it, only to encourage the best and brightest minds to enlist in public service. The platinum package of pay and benefits given to these "public servants", include but not limit the description to the following: Any position in the presidency under the President, Cabinet members, Congressmen, Senators, Justices, and all domestic and foreign employees of the federal government in the political arena. None of our politicians deserve or have earned these benefits for life. It may be done for those serving for over 30 yrs, but no less.
