Congress has awarded itself (once again) an increase in pay. The good thing is that this is just a Cost-of-Living-Adjustment (COLA) and not a performance increase. Obviously, with the stagnation of Social Security Reform, Tax Reform, Energy Bill passage, and the multitude of other problems that they have failed to tackle or failed to fix they definitely don't deserve a performance pay raise.
Really, though, do they need anymore money? It amazes me that when it comes to letting the American people keep more of what they earn, Congress goes crazy. But let them take more money home and nary a word...
