Put source of how much the senate and congress spend on their wages and functional costs... here it costs a small fortune (some Billion Dollars each house).

Don't know about "functional cost" (that would be one that can't be helped), but their wages on average put together is somewhere around $100m total for a year.  Source?  
You can easily find online there are 535 members of Congress, and this source tells you the average pay they get http://usgovinfo.about.com/od/uscongress/a/congresspay.htm

We expend 6 billion reais (3 billion dollars) just with senate and congress (discounting all the state and municipal houses and all executive and miniteries).

Here in the United States, that's not much at all.  Our deficit is like $1 trillion a year.

Yep, here my greatest concerne isn't their wages, but more the corruption and really in the end the bad use of money... They collect more than 500 billion dollars every year here (almost 40% of GDP on tx... 20y ago was below 25%) and we never see the benefits, just "rights" and socialist programs that they use to deviate even more money, sadly.
