Do you realize that members of Congress are making a whopping $160k per year including benefits and travel paid. This excerpt is taken from About:U.S. Govt. Info, "
Congress: Rank-and-File Members' SalaryThe current salary for rank-and-file members of the House and Senate is $165,200 per year. "
You have got to be kidding me right? Then they sit there in Congress and take special interest money, trips, other perks and just recently this has all come out again as an issue...just in time for an elecion. Now that the elections are over (poof) no more talk of special interest money. come on America, how long are we going to stand for our tax dollars being spent on worthless crap like this?
