Fiscal conservative only for others?

Some time when your journalists/researchers have a little time they should try to figure out how much money Joe Pitts will get from fixed benefit pensions and the like. There is no question that when he retires he will get multiples of what he ever earned working. Dining/gorging at the government trough while holding himself out as some fiscal conservative. Here is the guy that has "a philosophy" about the private market that prevented him from supporting any of the financial rescue initiatives. Meanwhile his constituents 401K and other non-fixed benefit pensions and savings of folks collapse.

Among his fixed benefit pension would definitely be US House pension, PA legislature pension, school teacher pension, and possibly a military payment as well as, of course, Social Security for periods when he worked under FICA. This guy has to be exposed for what he is.
