I think that day has arrived and the politicians and corporations in many cases have become one.United they stand,divided we fall.

I am happy that these folks are making more money. I hope they piss on everyone because we deserve what we get. Lets make sure to reelect them all.

How about giving them a cost of living pay raise with the extra legislation that all pork projects would come out of their salaries?

And maybe we need to eliminate their free healthcare system until they come up with some type of plan of healthcare for the general public that is not corporate welfare (like the medicare drug benefits).

Here's a thought... what about outsourcing Congress?

Surely we could get people elsewhere who are more qualified to do a better job for less money, no?
