CONGRESS RAISING SALARY
Approval ratings hovering around 14%. Most Americans believe that Congress is an absolute joke. Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi leaders in their respective chambers on Capitol Hill both have approval ratings that match the bodies they lead.
So how do they respond to the American people ? Accepting $4400.00 per year pay increase for every member of Congress. This is a , "cost of living," increase that has been part of the annual Congressional budget since voted in during the 1989 session, but with the mood toward Congress as hostile as it is and Democrats complaining about the cost of the war they have the ability to stop the increase.
Will they ? Probably not because the leadership truly believes that they are doing a great job and fulfilling a , "mandate, " from the American people. This of course is a huge load of political BS! If the American people were satisfied with this Democrat led Congress then approval ratings would not be around 14% which is the lowest ever recorded for Congress.
In the real job market if an employee were only fulfilling 14% of his/her job responsibilities and had a similar performance rating that employee would be out the door seeking a new job as fast as the boss could say, "YOU'RE FIRED !" Yet Congress looks their boss, the American people in the eye and say, " we are going to raise our pay."
The American people, who employ the Congress are showing that they want the bunch fired not given a raise even if it is a , "cost of living, " increase. Yet Democrats in Congress pat themselves on the back and brag that they vowed not to raise their salary until after the minimum wage increase. I'm sure the guy working at Micky D's is just bursting at the seams with joy at his 70 cent increase and happy for his representative to get $4400.00.

What a great Blog ya have here.
Thanks for some real good reading....
The Democrat Congress has failed. And we are only 8 months into this.
God help us all!
In the private sector (the real world) they wouldn't even get a Christmas bonus (maybe a token $20.00 grocery shopping voucher or something) for a like performance, let alone a raise.
The Constitution has provided some
important guards against the danger of executive influence upon the
legislative body: it declares that "No senator or representative shall
during the time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil
office under the United States, which shall have been created, or the emoluments (wages, salaries, fees, or any other monetary benefit derived from employment) whereof shall have been increased, during such time; and no person, holding any office under the United States, shall be a member of either house during his continuance in office."
