Rick Santorum said "This is an important issue of gaining credibility with the American public that we are not going to treat ourselves any different than any other Federal employee when it comes to employee benefits. It puts us on a level no more and no less generous than other Federal employees. I think that is where we should be. There is no reason that we should have a more generous pension system here than other Federal employees. That is what the amendment of the Senator from Nevada would do. I will join him in cosponsoring his bill." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
