scam = extremely sweet deal. ie retirement after serving only one term. Pay grade that puts them in the top, what, 2 percentile. Lobbyists (like you - just kidding!)at their virtual beck and call. Those long hours. Automatic pay raises.

Between 2004 and 2006, members of Congress’ net worth increased an average of 84% – book advances, speaking engagements, stock and land deals, privileged mortgages, etc.
Perks that most people couldn't even dream of.
