Do you see the media report on this topic without political spin? Only a very few. The negatives we espouse are swept under the rug.
In short, I believe that the last 30 yrs. or more are absolute evidence that our politicians have not taken their oath or responsibilities seriously. It’s time for a pay cut. And a benefit cut. When they begin to take their fiduciary responsibilities seriously then we can talk. And anyway where does it state in any document from the founders or any writings that these individuals should be compensated so highly. I didn't know PUBLIC SERVICE was to be rewarded so greatly. I thought it was for an individual to make an impact on policy not my pocketbook.
