    In the last two years 8 Congressmen have died in office. 7 of them were Democrats, and only two were younger than 70, and none younger than 65.

    Can you imagine loving your power so much you choose to die in power than enjoy a guaranteed retirement?

        We're going to get term limits in 1994, when Gingrich's majority makes good on their Contract With America. Susan Collins will lead the charge.

          I've heard speculation that Congresscritters keep running entirely for the health care benefits.

          Like, once you get that old, you just want the kind of care only the government can provide

            Why would they do that? I'm pretty sure they get those benefits for life.

              They don't get access to DC hospitals and doctors, or a Congressional staff that can substitute as home health care workers.

                I was about to say wow we need to fix that but fuck em. Term limits and they can die alone in their own diapers like the rest of us.

                  It's true. They have access to true socialised healthcare that they deny to everybody else. They are well aware of its advantages.
