Congress is underpaid.

[Sallow]

Congress is doing exactly whats its supposed to do. Fight itself with one side opposing what the other is trying to do.

As for salaries? Since no one was EVER supposed to make a living as a politician one has to wonder why they get payed at all. After all. They are supposed to be serving the people. Not makin a living.

As for what they get payed? Wonder if they include all those perks they get as part of the salary??

This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.

We can solve the housing problem for them. They can do the same thing military members do. We will have congress housing, similar to barracks for single members or family housing. We'll buy some lovely high rise buildings, assign them apartments and have good security at the entrance to ensure they are all safe. It makes more sense than them expecting to purchase luxury houses on their own. Our military members and their families do well in assigned housing. I think congress can handle it and it would save a lot of money. If the real reason they ran for office was to serve this country, same way military does, they will welcome this idea. If they are in it for the money and consider themselves too good for this kind of housing, they aren't good enough to serve us.

Cry me a river: Retiring Moran says Congress is ?underpaid? | Fox News

With nothing to lose — except perhaps sympathy from any American making less than $174,000 a year — retiring Democratic Virginia Congressman Jim Moran said in an interview with CQ Roll Call on Thursday that members of Congress are “underpaid.”

Underpaid? fuck those assholes.

That's why the cons always give themselves a pay raise at midnight.

hey moran, it was the dems that passed and continue to support their automatic raises.

fucking retard, just how ignorant of the world are you?

You should check your facts before showing what an idiot you are.

2001
Members received a January 2001 annual pay adjustment of 2.7%, which increased their salary to
$145,100 from $141,300.

2002
Members received a pay adjustment of 3.4% in January 2002, increasing their salary to $150,000
from $145,100.

2003
Members received a pay adjustment of 3.1% in January 2003, increasing their salary to $154,700
from $150,000.

2004
Members received a pay adjustment of 2.2% in 2004, increasing their salary to $158,100 from
$154,700. The adjustment was effective in two stages. The first adjustment increased Members’
salary by 1.5%, to which they were initially limited because by law they may not receive an annual adjustment greater than the increase in the base pay of GS federal employees. After the passage of the FY2004 Consolidated Appropriations Act, which provided an average 4.1% GS pay increase, Members received the full 2.2% pay increase, with 0.7% retroactive to the first pay period in January 2004.

2005
Members received a pay adjustment of 2.5% in January 2005, increasing their salary to $162,100
from $158,100.


2006
Members received a pay adjustment of 1.9% in January 2006, increasing their salary to $165,200
from $162,100.
51
This increase became official when President Bush issued an executive order on December 22,
2005, containing his allocation of a 3.1% pay increase for GS federal employees, 2.1% for base
pay and an average of 1.0% for locality pay.
52
By setting the GS base pay component at a rate
(2.1%) greater than the scheduled 1.9% Member pay increase, Members were able to receive the
full 1.9% adjustment

I think each state should have its own housing in Georgetown or other suburb. Each new Senator or Congressman could use it while they are in Washington

yea they are

many of them rent private planes, with our money, to travel so they can avoid the peasants.

 

[hangover]

Congress is paid less than $200k per year, for making decisions for the future of the country.
AROD is paid $25 million per year for playing a game. Some movie stars are paid $25 million for making one movie. And few see the stupid priorities of this country. This country deserves the government it has.

Well if their underpaid they would save money if they live in these developments with their constituents.

It goes beyond Congress who would do the job for free

Congressional salaries caps all Government salaries and prevents the Government from attracting the best and brightest. You get what you pay for

Thats what I thought you were going to pull. The Speaker of the House is entitled to a military aircraft so you post that MANY Congressmen get free aircraft

someone used the wrong vowel in the spelling of his last name, replace the "A" with an "O" and you get the true meaning of another dimwitocrat.
