In light of our impending depression, I consider this move to be nothing short of unAmerican and yes...unpatriotic.

Why shouldn’t they? It’s all Bush’s fault, after all!

[brushcop]

I think “appropriate” messages are in line for the Christmas season should be sent to these scum, which I will begin doing. I’m not sure what exactly it will take for the American people to be outraged enough to demand some form of justice.

However, at 2.8 percent, the automatic raise that lawmakers receive is only half as large as the 2009 cost of living adjustment of Social Security recipients.

What on earth are the little people complaining about now? They took a pay cut, lol.

[randomhero97]

That’s only the pay raise that the sheeple actually see. I’m sure it’s more than that.

Why should we expect the same crooks that started this economic crisis to get us out of it?

Strange...

Not a word as to how this "automatic raise" came about.

Please don't tell me that they voted on their own raise --- forever?

Or to put it a more useful way, how do we, the employers, undo this BS?

I say we freeze their pay (and per diem) until it's more in line with the "middle class."

The only group that has done a worse job of decision-making and managing than auto executives is CONGRESS!!!!!!!

My employer gave me a $2,000.00 Christmas bonus check today and then proceeded to dock me 30 minutes pay because it took me that long to pick myself up from off the floor.

Obama - End Run Around Congress

Obama’s most brilliant stealth strategy for implementing “change” involves not just a change in laws, but a change in the way laws are made and passed. I’ll tell you how, and what it means for our country.

Click the link and listen to the program. It will send you into a tizzy tighter than a tick.

[smokingfrog]

Congress criticizes the high pay and compensation given to the executives of companies that are failing, then gives itself a raise when its' approval rating is at an all time low.

This will be a great issue to hang on the Democrat majorit..
oh, wait, it won’t please the Washington Post to raise such a “divisive” and “mean-spirited” issue, so you know what that means: no NRCC cash for anyone who dare raise the issue.

I thought this was a joke.

After utterly destroying the US (and world) economies with their CRA Act mega-corruption, the gerrymandered Permanent Ruling Class rewards itself.

Nice slap on the faces for us peons.

[getmeouttaPalmBeachCounty_FL]

I’m calling my senators tomorrow. This is just disgraceful.

[RepublitarianRoger2]

I can’t believe these people.
