WASHINGTON ?? The famed bean soup served in Senate restaurants is made up of dried navy beans, smoked ham hocks, onions and a million-dollar tab for the taxpayer.
That menu for financial distress could be about to change as the Senate, following the lead taken by the House more than 20 years ago, moves to privatize the restaurants, coffee shops and cafeterias located in the Capitol and Senate office buildings.
The Senate last week passed a bill authorizing Senate restaurants, now run by th

(Wed, 04 Jun 2008 04:07:26 GMT)
Retirement benefits :
OK. B. Hussein Obama is proposing that the cap on social security be removed. This means that companies will be required to pay substantially more in FICA taxes. Since companies generally budget a fixed amount for payroll, how will this increase affect the average worker when the company eliminates the matching contribution for 401K retirement accounts to offset the increase? I don't see any positive benefit for me if the company stop matching my 401K contribution.

If you are going to teach, why not become a college professor, cause then you would at least make ten times more money than what would you make if you were a elementary, middle, or high school teacher.
