Out of everything I've seen so far, other than ObamaCare being dismantled, this is the thing that makes me want to dance!
I have always gotten upset when I heard how Congress was giving themselves a raise, and how they weren't held to the same laws the American People are. There is NOTHING fair about that!
That quote was taken from a Face Book post, but I remember seeing Trump say this on a video, so I know it's true.
Wonder how the Congress people will like having to abide by the laws they enacted for the rest of us... and living on SS when they retire?
I've waited sooooooo very long for this!

Quote:Congressional Reform Act of 2017
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. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, 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 3%.
5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.
6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.
7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void effective 3/1/17. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women.
Congress made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and go back to work.
