House accepts $4,400 pay raise

[Psycho4Bud]

i sure wish i could find a job where i could fail miserably at every turn and not only keep the job, but get a raise as well.

I doubt that....by your posts you appear to be a person that has pride. What price tag do ya put on respect? These people may have a high profile position but they have no real respect from anyone.

Have a good one!:s4:

House accepts $4,400 pay raise WASHINGTON -- Despite record-low approval ratings, House lawmakers Wednesday voted to accept an approximately $4,400 pay raise that will increase their salaries to almost $170,000. The cost-of-living raise gets lawmakers back on track for automatic pay raises after a fight between Democrats and Republicans last year and again in January killed the pay hike due this year. That was the first interruption of the annual congressional pay hike in seven years. The blowup came after Democrats Rating: 5

yeah, but i'd be willing to swallow my pride on a part time basis to rake in some of that nice fat green. i'd have to keep doing what i do now to keep any semblance of self respect, but i'd be willing to work the occasional night shift as a senator.

Yeah, how many people wouldn't vote themselves a raise if they could? I'd vote myself a million dollars and laugh my ass off when i got voted out. Early retirement.

I don't have all the figures, but how many raises have they voted themselves yet failed to raise the minimum wage, rediculous, the only reason we got a minimum raise now is the dems. put it on the war appropriations bill as a rider. Had they not been smart enough to do that, I doubt the repubes would have allowed it to pass and Bush would have vetoed it anyway.
