Just remember that they would have to have a large excess bid before they could furlough and look how well that wen the last time. They will have to show the bean counters that it will work to be the largest land owner in MEM Plus all the retaining once the start the recall.

Now having said all that, who knows what is going to happen.

Charles E. Schumer (D-NY) - 2007 | OpenSecrets

He is 58. I think most 58 y/o FDX pilots are worth a fair bit more - at least those on their first wife.

BTW, average net worth in the Senate is nearly $15 Million.

Care to tell me what chuckies retirement bennies are after 30 years in congress and how that compares to a 58 year old fedex pilot? I noticed Mrs. Schumer pay (what does a vice chancellor make and does it help to have a senator for a husband?) wasn't included in your numbers. I like chuckie but I know he thinks I am rich and wants to spread my wealth.

What you're not taking into account is that "Chuckie", and his pals, want to keep you "rich" so they can "spread your wealth". (very "O" like, eh?)

The people that you think are your friends, don't think you should be rich in the 1st place.

Schumer's constituents ..Listen to the nimrods yesterday, one asking for a car, a house, and a bathroom. Another a college student (you can bet a not too bright one)working at Micky D's 4 and a half years wanting more benefits from a minimum wage job. The topper was your typical D supporter claiming he made $3600.000 a month then got laid off and wanted to ensure that in addition to his $1100.00 he currently gets in unemployment, that he gets an additional $2500.00 at taxpayer expense so he can make his original $3600.00. Maybe any furloughed dudes could get 'O' to cough up 70 hr guarantee -any unemployment bennies they would be entitled too.

A senator makes $174K/year. If he goes out at 30 yrs (60years old) he will get 56.25% of his high-3, assuming he stayed under CSRS, or about $103K/yr. The 25 year FDX retiree is making more money, but doesn't have the same opportunities for a second career. If he does a Strom Thurmond, he would max out at 80% of high-3, but then Strom didn't get to enjoy any of it did he?

The numbers are what I found on the internet, because I was interested in your comment and wondered it had basis in fact. If you want to criticize the guy's politics, go right ahead. If you want a wife with a high paying job, that's up to you. I just think you've got the wrong guy in a Senate full of multi-millionaires.
