| mrstickball said: What makes me aggrivated the most is that the congressmen/senators are still getting paid. Most have stated they will not accept thier regular pay, except for one congresswoman, Mrs. Sanchez who said that she lives paycheck to paycheck like most Americans, and cannot afford to go without pay (she makes $174,000 USD/yr by the way). |
There was one senator who proposed they not be paid. A Democrat I believe.
Sad it didn't pass.
Paycheck to paycheck on 174,000. Wooo boy.
Give me 174,000 and i'll live 6-8 years off that.
If I was ever a senator the first thing I would propose is a cut in pay to 100,000 and back that up by donating the extra 74,000 to charity every year.
With a later proposal that any raises must be voted for nationally on the election ballot.
