The boobs in Washington have wrecked the economy for most of us, but not everyone is suffering. Congress is giving itself a pay raise:

A crumbling economy, more than 2 million constituents who have lost their jobs this year, and congressional demands of CEOs to work for free did not convince lawmakers to freeze their own pay.

Instead, they will get a $4,700 pay increase, amounting to an additional $2.5 million that taxpayers will spend on congressional salaries�?/BLOCKQUOTE>

The raise must be a reward for setting off the financial crisis by winking at the irresponsible government-sponsored entities Freddie and Fannie in return for massive bribes �?I mean, campaign contributions.

So, with all the screaming about the CEO's , that they MUST forgo their "golden parachutes" to help the economy, and the cries of the waste by the big Three's executives for using private jets, where is the CONGRESS cutting back? have they ever heard of "LEADING BY EXAMPLE"???
