    This title almost reads like The Onion.

    On a serious note, why? These people (on both sides) have enough money saved, health benefits etc to comfortably retire. Why don’t they? Are they so bought and paid for that their ‘investors’ won’t let them?

      The US legislatures give a lot of power based on seniority. There's a lot of incentive for a party to keep members in office as long as possible.

      Why should they retire? They don't actually do anything. They figure they might as well be there to soak up the corrupt funds instead of some other placeholder.
