Congressman Billy Long, It's Time to Get Fed Up With Congressional Pensions

Dear Congressman Billy Long,

I suspect one of the reasons you decided you wanted to go to Washington was the fact Congressman Barney Frank helped destroyed the housing market. Considering your interests were in real estate market. In fact, you made a comment about the auction industry taking a hit in a December 2009 Springfield Business Journal article.


While you have done little to control Washington since you got to Washington, voting for things like the largest debt ceiling in history, there is an opportunity for you here to do the right thing.

It angers me that Barney Frank will soon be receiving a Congressional pension--a reward for his duties fulfilled in Congress which includes helping create the housing bubble. So as American wealth was destroyed thanks to this moron, he never had anything to worry about knowing his gay butt was going to be catered to by the American taxpayer in the form of a Congressional pension. Perhaps, this is one of the reasons you decided to go to Washington too--a pension and healthcare.

All the while, more than likely, just like Newt Gingrich has profited millions from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, both government institutions I know you Congressman Long have profited from to considering your real estate interests, thanks to Newt's political connections, Barney Frank will also come to play a role in the fraud that is taking place against the American taxpayer as these bailed out organizations take US tax dollars and pay these people of influence like Newt. I am sure we will hear of Congressman Frank's new role some day soon.

So with this said Congressman Long, I challenge you to do the right, fed up thing, and introduce legislation that ends Congressional pensions. This legislation should remove you of any federal assistance in healthcare and force you to pay into both the broken Social Security and Medicare programs.

Our country is broke, and considering the lack of service you and people like Congressman Frank provide for our Republic to get one of these pensions, it's time you realize $15 trillion is a huge number and people like you and Frank sucking off the federal tit is not helping reduce this number. Let's end Congressional pensions once and for all.
