congressional salaries and benefits, it doesn't make sense to say it's too much. How does that pay and benefit package compare to other under-worked, pampered professionals?
It's popular to attack congress this way--but I think many who use the tactic do so to rile people up to be angry at Congress and push the "both sides are to blame" meme that keeps the Rs from accruing their full share of blame for the dysfunction caused in large part by their obstructionism. I don't care to jump on the RW bandwagon.
I'd rather treat our representatives as professionals, calling out the ones who most blatantly aren't rather than sending them a unifying message.
But hey, don't let me bring you down. No one seems to have the facts about congressional pay and bennies, so I'm sure you'll get plenty of support for your plan.
