while the average americans, are struggling to get by. and millions have lost their job in the last 2 years. yet congress has had a wealth of 25% increase, and they say these numbers are a low estimate. and their wealth really jumped after getting elected to congress. I wonder why, or HOW? [URL]http://caffertyfile.blogs.cnn.com/2011/11/02/what-does-it-say-when-members-of-congress-got-25-richer-during-the-height-of-the-recession/[/URL]

Your tellin me, the pay sure doen't equal the actual time spent on the job per say....Total joke of a pay scale..I wish their was a true way to stop their raises from ever happening unless the People actually approved them...Not just as it is today..Congress approving a raise when ever they think they need one.......
Kinda makes you understand why they are out of touch with the rest of the people. They don't understand what it feels like to have some condescending buttholes dictating what we do with our money. They feel they are superior to us when in fact they aren't worth the wages of some illegal working his butt off.
I have grown to dislike about everyone politician. Regardless of party. That's why I would like to see new people in there and especially ones who have worked in the trenches or run a business.
