Can you believe we keep giving these people raises? I am disgusted with these buffoons. Washington has to be the most egocentric town in the world. I was in DC all last week - kept hoping I'd run into that twit, Boxer.
I was so glad to get home last Friday.
Now the thing on CSPAN says the "discussion" will go on until 4:30 tomorrow, with a final discussion and vote on Thursday!!
Hey, I was there from Wednesday until Saturday!
We don't, actually. They used to have to vote themselves raises. Then they tried to get automatic raises voted into law. The public went nuts. So they waited a bit and Dick Gephardt slipped it through before it could get anyone's attention. My congress critter at the time.
