Kind of like every other pension.
You don't get $70k for serving 6 years.
Someone who serves 6 years, is getting a wildly different payout than someone who serves for say 20 years...like every pension.
Jesus, this is why the pension thing is so annoying.
Typical person: MPs get giant pensions for life!
Someone who actually took the time to look at it: They get a good pension, to be sure, but it's not wildly different than any other DB pension.
Typical person: They Get a full pension after 6 years! That's crazy!

It's kind of annoying how you are focussing on a small part of my original post that didn't really have anything to do with smart people not moving into politics. I see I hit a nerve as this pension talk is dear to you but you are kind of taking the discussion in a totally different direction.
