Fascinating how people can get all hot and bothered by $500,000 and bills with pork provisions for tens of millions of dollars will go completely unnoticed.
At some point people need to grow up about the congressional salary issue. Doesn't look like it will ever happen. There are dentists making more than Senators.

There are dentists making more than Senators. Dentists earn it.

This gives a guy like Bad~Rodeo a chance to front for the likes of people like Corzine. Better to buy an election then to work for it - that seems to be what Bad is supporting.

I think the local guy does--this week he "quoted" my wife well over 700 bucks for a cap on one lousy tooth. Not even a root canal (amazed he didn't go after THAT too.) And to think I was feeling sorry for dentists 30 years or so ago when they announced that fluoride would stop decay. And we think drug companies are ripping us off.

There are dentists making more than Senators They do a lot less damage to. Our congress people are not undercompensated by any means. There is probably good economic reason why people are willing to spend millions to sit in congress. We could slash the pay and still get qualified people to run.

Spare us your condescension.
What has Congress done this year to deserve a raise ?
Provide for the common defense ? Nope, blew that one big time.
Protect our borders and control immigration ? Nope, blew that one big time.
Keep the government within it's Constitutional boundaries ? Nope.
Ensure that our tax dollars are wisely spent ? Nope.
We got a paltry tax cut. Thank you, Massa Government.
