Do you have any idea what fraction of federal spending is represented by congressional and staff salaries? It is miniscule.
Instead of worrying about what they get paid, why don't you focus on whether we are paying enough to get the kind of people we want. I would suggest that we certainly are not get the quality of folks we want as congresscritters.

I would agree that we are not get the quality of folks we want as congresscritters...but do you think throwing money at the problem is the answer. nope I don't it doesn't help eduction, welfare, medicare, or any other federal and social program..they complain the CEOs get paid to much..do they walk what they preach NO... sorry but these sorry asses don't need to get more of my money in a way of salaries. they hang around Washington for 20yrs and live of the dole of tax paying people....
