Someone please explain to me how a congress who can't keep us from the looming fiscal cliff and all the cut backs coming has the gumption to give themselves a $900 a month raise? When I worked, we only got raises when we earned them. I don't think any one in congress has earned any sort of a raise this year.
But, that's just the opinion of someone living 130% below the poverty level.

Congress did not give themselves pay raises. It was the President, by Executive Order - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/1...n_2377714.html

Congress is trying to get the Order rescinded - http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012...ess-pay-raise/
