Proposal: No pensions at all for elected officials

I've made this proposal before, but want to repeat it; elected officials should not receive any pension credit for their time in office. Term limits may not be constitutional, but I bet this would be legal, and would have the same effect- legislators who serve one or two terms, then return to their real jobs. The alternative is career politicians, who accumulate power, and as the saying goes, all-too-often then become corrupted.
