Are members of Congress paid enough?http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/memb ... 41960.htmlEveryone complains about their job now and then, and members of Congress are no exception.
A few lawmakers have suggested in recent months that despite a $174,000 annual salary, generous health care and pensions, and perks for things like travel and mail, being one of the elite 435 ain't always what it's cracked up to be. And when you calculate the hours they put in, the pay isn't stellar either, they say.
==============================
$174,000 a year!!!
I will not see that in 3 years.....
A raise? How about you balance the budget, and create a surplus, and then start talking about giving yourselves bonuses and raises.
Your politics have helped to destroy the American economy, and you have done jack and $h!7 to fix it.
You don't deserve raises, you deserve Replacements all of you!!
