Sploid: Crooks in Congress take a pay hike: "They're rocked by scandal almost daily, their job approval rating hovers around 30% and their salary is more four times that of the average American. No wonder folks in Congress gave themselves a raise.
Not only did Congress bump its own pay $3,300 to $168,500, they wouldn't even let the matter be put up for discussion. Rep. Jim Matheson, D-Utah, tried in vain to put the cost of living adjustment before the House. . ."
As always, Sploid is over-the-top, but they have captured the way I feel about it. Crooks, indeed. Maybe the minimum wage ought to be tied to Congressional pay raises. . . wonder what that would do to the poverty rate in the U.S.?
