WTG Senate!
« on: October 23, 2003, 12:44:33 PM »
5th year in a row! WTG! You guys SUCK!

been almost 3 years since I had a raise.  Watch this closely democrat friends o mine you won't see this very often.


Quote
Sen. Russell Feingold, D-Wis., who every year stands up against pay increases, said that with the economy still weak and many Americans finding it hard to make ends meet, it was "the wrong time for Congress to give itself a pay hike."



 I agree with a Democrat.:confused:

$158,000 is not much considering many of them are stinking lying lawyers who could make twice that amount....

I don't begrudge Congress members making this amount and giving them selves a raise... especially the junior members.

However, with just one term of office - 4 or 6 years, they get this salary and medical benefits for the rest of their life.

Wow... would love that kind of job!

Bush Senior as president was getting his Senatorial pay plus Presidential... DOUBLE DIPPER!

here's an idea....

 Congressional pay should come with what's left of the ballanced budget.  Bust the budget?  No pay for you.  Save 100 billion dollars?  Bonuses for you...

 I know I know it will never happen....
