Every man and woman who goes to Congress immediately start working on their pension plan over and above the pension they get for serving in Congress.

In the event they cannot grab a pot full in their first term they are in trouble; hence, everything they say is aimed at a nice income after they are out of office.
Take a good gook at Alexandria Ocasio Cortez’s harebrained statements and you will see that her brainsick Green Plan is the only one that can payoff.
In short: Alternative energy companies will sweeten the pot like a winning lottery ticket after she is out of office. A high-paying job is definitely part of her pension plan package.
Bottom line: AOC has more reason to fund her pension plan than the other new members in the House. Without a guaranteed income to supplement her newly acquired lifestyle, AOC will have to go back to dealing them off the arm in a sleazy gin mill.
Finally, this is the template for the way pension plan larceny works:
When Harry Reid was looking for votes for the ACA it was reported that he pieced-off then-Senator Ben Nelson —— not with cash, but with the Cornhusker Kickback:
Indeed, Nelson came from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. So there was zero chance he would vote NO on the ACA. More to the point, no money changed hands in 2010. Nelson got his payoff after he left office —— and it was legal:
Former Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) on Wednesday revealed he would earn nearly $1 million per year in his new job as chief executive of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC).
Nelson, a centrist Democrat who retired from the Senate in January, told reporters on a press call that he does not plan to lobby the government as leader of the organization. That will be left to the association’s staff, he said, according to Insurance Journal.
Under ethics rules, Nelson is barred from lobbying Congress for two years, though he is permitted to lobby the administration.
The two-term Nebraska senator has held high-ranking positions at NAIC before, serving as its executive vice president from 1982 to 1985. On Tuesday, he announced his return to the group as CEO.
“I am honored to serve as CEO during such an important and exciting time in the regulatory community,” Nelson said in a statement. “After years in government, this is a homecoming for me.”
The "homecoming" will earn Nelson a base salary of $950,000 for at least two years, The Hill confirmed. That’s in line with the estimates of headhunters, who singled out Nelson as a top recruit for K Street after he announced his decision not to run for reelection.
Nelson has also accepted a position with the public affairs firm Agenda, where he will serve as a senior adviser. He has not revealed how much he will earn at that firm.
