Personally, I don’t believe that Jackson Jr. should receive any partial federal pension since he resigned from Congress and was guilty of stealing campaign funds for personal use. He is a convicted felon and as such should be treated like one. Additionally, I highly question his supposed mood disorder as being real and question the disability payments even more. Everyone that I know that receives any kind of disability receives less than $2,000 a month, many less than $1,000 a month. As congressman, he only made $133,600 a year so how does he warrant $104,400 a year in disability? -
I agree, something is very wrong in the Obama Administration. Congress needs to pass a Bill that makes it illegal for any public employee to receive any type of pay or benefits if they convicted of abusing their positions. According to House Oversight and Government Reform Committee there are over 265,000 currently retired/disabled public employees, drawing substantial pay and benefits after being convicted of abusing their public positions for financial gain.
