I for one find it humorously, ironic/hypocritical watching our congress grill American automaker executives for corporate bonuses and flying their corporate jets to Congress looking for a bailout while Congress itself has NEVER missed a pay raise.Originally Posted by forgot to bid
It is worrisome. Congress is acting like a teenager who feels indestructible, we can't get hurt. If we need money, we'll print it. I fear just having 10% below you on the list isn't going to be enough if we get caught.
It's sickening to me that the ELECTED officials of this country, even under the darkest of economic times, are willing to strap down and take a pay cut while every other American is forced to skimp and save.
How can these ELECTED officials ask Americans to strap down for harsh economic times in the future when they themselves are not willing to do the same?
Last I checked our government was supposed to work for us, Americans, and, in my opinion, our government has NOT be looking out for the best interests of its' people.
