This is getting to be disgusting when the Republicans take a 30,000 $ pay raise every three years or so. It is time to realized all of us deserves a slight cost of living raise. Things go up, the Corporations get greedy. Time to clean it up, congress.. Or we should maybe start taking a pay limit for congress, too.
Russ Fiengold refused the raise the congress got the last time, he said he would not take one until the workers get theirs.....so at least those who vote for it are o.k. We may as well, fill the congress (gop) who do not vote for the pay raises, keep their emails full and also their web sites. They may as well face the music.
