No that is what Ed Rendell claimed he was going to do with the extra money. Instead he gave a hefty pay raise. Now as much as I think socialized medicine is broken..... I definately think the money should have gone towards that before going to a BIGGER pay check for congress.

the worst part was.... when he was confronted about the pay raise.... his excuse was "If we take away that pay raise how can we afford to send our kids to university and give them a headstart at life" If us regular folk can afford to send our kids to college they certainly can on their more than fair wage.
