Phuckers. We really need to get term limits on these bastards and make sure they can no longer give themselves raises. :smash:

It should be a vote of the people if they get raises or not. We are the ones that hire them, we should be giving them raises if they are deserved.

Term limits are great, but we do have the power to vote them out if we don't like what they do! We just keep sending the useless mother f'ers back up there to do how they feel. And then they blame it all on what ever party is in the white house.

I know you are angry, just don't act shocked!

Un phucking real, but not a surprise

The worst part is, they get that money for the rest of their lives even if they only serve one term. With cost of living increases automatically added.

PRINCETON, NJ -- Approval of Congress has dipped below 20% for only the fourth time in the 34 years Gallup has asked Americans to rate the job Congress is doing. The 18% score, based on a Gallup Poll, matches the record lows Gallup recorded in August 2007 and March 1992.


But they deserved it, just ask the American people.

which is how everyone should be. i think our government needs a complete turn around. its too big the people should not be scared of the government, the government should be scared of us. :boxing_smiley:

Interesting... I haven't had a cost of living raise in my base salary in over 2 yrs... The only raise I got was from working harder and making more commission......
