Pelosi doesn't have enough perks.
Wednesday voted to accept an approximately $4,400 pay raise that will increase their salaries to almost $170,000.http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/06/27/AR2007062702172.html

435 house representatives times $4,400 equals $1,914,000 in government waste a year.

Congress’s little way of sticking it to da man = US.
How come Dennis Kookinich and the rest of the nut crowd did not go on a rampage over this? I guess even the nut crowd thinks of their own pockets first. Maxine Waters needs the raise for airfare to send the kids to Cuba to visit their Uncle Fidel.

And just think... they’re getting a raise for going against the ideals of the majority of the American public.
Just another reason they want the Amnesty, so all the illegals can fund their salaries.
Figures.

Yea! This will lower the approval ratings of the present Democratically controlled Congress even more!

I would much rather our present pay system was changed to one where local districts and states pay representatives rather than the federal coffer. After all, that’s who these bozos are supposed to represent! Talk about “power of the purse”...

They REALLY don't care about what we think anymore. These people will regret it. I can't wait to vote AGAINST any Rino or incumbent.
Sorry bastards, the whole lot of em.

Hoyer forced more than a dozen Republicans to switch their votes Forced??? Come on, did he hold their wives and children hostage in order to get them to change their votes?

They won’t get it until after the next election (see 27th amendment). By then a lot of them will be gone. Then the next congress should repeal it (which they won’t).
Meanwhile, the deficit is down to $150 billion thanks to the tax cuts and increase in revenue. The budget could be balanced tomorrow.

All raises for the house, and senate should be by vote of the nation, not vote of the congress.
PERIOD!
