02/04/2016 Getting Real with U.S. Self-less Servants (U.S. Senator or Representative)

Truths of the economics for job positions.

Enough is Enough!

Very few senators or representatives are self-less servants to "We the People".

Few work all their hours and yet they get full pay and benefits and charge running around to the citizens of the U.S.

Their pay is reasonable for people in their positions. Seniors and many of us do not make a living wage nor do we get Senators or Representatives for cost of living adjustments (2015-2016 as an example) needs according to our costs.

They get family leave time and yet they will not give it to "We the People" as a right! They get full health care as a right and yet "We the People" do not have a right to affordable and rational health care.
