As the employers of everyone working in Government, we deserve to know what we are getting for our dollars. For instance, how much are Government officials making in salary, benefits, perks & pensions? At a time when millions of Americans are losing the above, wouldn't it be enlightening to see a readout on how much a Senator is making when he or she is on TV?
So often, elected officials present themselves as being 'one of us', and yet they have medical insurance and pension systems not at all similar to the ones legislated to the general public. They can also qualify for these benefits in an absurdly short period of time.
