It isn't true. And it is easy to o a google under federal
retirement. I don't remember the site but it had the formula for
figuring out the retirement.

From what I understand, once a congressman/woman or senator gets in
office, even if for just one term, they're covered, with a healthy
income for life (I was told 100% of their salary, but don't know if
that's true or not - given their past records tho, probably is). Same
with health care. So, they really aren't concerned about it, they've
already got theirs.

A politician's number one priority is getting into office. Once
in, their number one priority is staying in office.
