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.
