Re: Gm letter to Suppliers
 

and on top of everything else Congress has voted themselves a 4,700.00 a year raise for next year. Hay, it's only 2.5M a year. That's chump change and Americans are the chumps. That's just insulting to working Americans. It just goes to show their mentality and the contempt politicians have for Americans. If I had done my job as badly as they have I would be FIRED not given a raise. Maybe even arrested. They do things like this because they know they can get away with it...and they will get away with it. The US Government is first and foremost nothing more than a Cash Cow to politicians and their cronies. 99.9% don't give a flying F*&K about America or Americans. I have no problem with a person gaining as much wealth as possible. But not with my money or with power given to you by me. How is it that a Governor making 200K a year gets elected to a federal office and 10 years later he/she has a net worth of 200million. I don't know...Ask Bill Clinton. I'm sick to death of American politicians. Some how I don't feel better.

Seriously, is that the height of arrogance or what? Now you know how revolutions get started.

Auto execs use their corporate jets to fly to DC and congress is "outraged" at the arrogance of that. Congress is so offended that they vote themselves a pay raise. As Mel Brooks once said: "It's good to be king."

The above link refers to the 2004 pay raise.

I wonder what the 2009 raise will be since each one probably lost a portion of that $50 Billion invested with that Wall Street scam artist.

Dag Nab it...I hate when I do that...Sorry Steve!

Here's the correct one!

Re: Gm letter to Suppliers
 

"Members of Congress make an average of $169,300 a year, with Congressional leaders making slightly more. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Cailf., makes $217,400, while the majority and minority leaders in the House and Senate each make $188,100.

The raise will increase the average salary to about $174,000, up 2.8 percent."

Two things I don't get -
1. Why does anybody making over $150,000 need a cost of living raise?
2. Why is Congress willing to hide behind a law that gives them automatic increases every year?

By the way, the same article says the typical person on Social Security will get $63.00.
