Just a taste of how the Congress takes care of ITSELF....as opposed to governing America. Maybe some of the money will go toward preserving his KKK robe for all the proud Democrat voters of his state....especially the African-American ones.

It feels great to be working today, so some small portion of my paycheck can go to the do-nothing kids of one of last century's biggest blood-sucking leeches.

Are his kids and grandkids in the Klu Klux Klan too?

It’s also interesting that a social security recipient’s monthly check is cut off immediately. Not that it shouldn’t but this should also apply to senators.

My Brother died last month.

His family had to send his last pension check back even though it was the middle of the month.

Congress not only gets to keep the last check , they get a years salary for when they werent there??

Not bad.

In addition to continuing to draw his congressional salary, the late Senator Byrd will also uphold Democratic tradition by voting in the November election.
