Coincidence?

MTG resignation is effective Jan 5. On that date she will have been in congress exactly 5 years.

Members of Congress are eligible for a pension at the age of 62 if they have completed at least five years of service.

Coincidence?

She gonna be sucking off us until she dies?

But by delaying her resignation, she is guaranteed her pension whether runs for senate or not ToxMarz Nov 22 #4

Even liberals would delay their retirement to achieve a pension. From what I understand, it ain't a lot. Silent Type Nov 22 #5

They would generally just not run for re-election rather than retire midterm when they reach pension eligibility. ToxMarz Nov 22 #9

Glad she's gone, but not gonna obsess over her $9K pension and health insurance. Also glad she ticked trump off. Silent Type Nov 22 #10

Possibly, as has been stated in other threads, she is going to try for the senate... I relly don't think she can make it but she is definitely up to something...

I really don't see her running for the senate. Sounds like too much work.

starting the feud with mango could be her idea of making her mire attractive to them... Big controversy draw the fringe audience.

She would just love the attention and the pay would be a lot better.

She is not retiring, she is resigning in protest and to make a statement. In adddition to their 'ain't alot' pension (which is above the poverty level and an ok safety net) they can continue their federal healthcare plans (if they have met that magic 5 year number) with the government paying 72% of the premiums until they are eligible for Medicare.
