Currently the average lawmaker makes $169,300 a year, with leadership making slightly more. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) makes $217,400, while the minority and majority leaders in the House and Senate make $188,100.

If you really want to get mad, look into how much they get for "Office Expenses", "Travel", etc.

These are the SAME corrupt bastards who were chastising the formerly Big 3 for not showing fiscal responsibility by accepting huge salaries, bonuses and flying to Washington in their private jets...

I guess throwing tea into the harbor is out of the question today. With the EPA’s bequeathed power, such an action would result in punitive action for fouling the water.
The founders of this once great nation would cry were they to see how we have evolved.

Good old Congress.

Yup.

You can ALWAYS rely on Congress to do the right thing!

And what are we going to do about this? Nothing. We are complacent; and they know it.

I’m sure a lot of them are giving us the finger for throwing their butts out of office last month.

2009 cost of living adjustment of Social Security recipients...

Yes, but I just helped my grandparents try to sort out what the best plan for them is in regards to Medicare/Care Improvement Plus. They will now be receiving LESS each month than they were last year because their costs for these programs have skyrocketed this year.

It was just a matter of time until Congress got a bail out.
