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?

Someone else recently explained it best: It's elderly abuse.

The entourage encircling these elderly congressional leaders are profiting greatly. As soon as these senators retire, these leeches lose nearly everything.

It's a Weekend At Bernie's movie plot, but with extra steps.
