Comments on: Our Do Nothing Congress Gives Themselves $4,700 pay increases http://rightvoices.com/2008/12/19/our-do-nothing-congress-gives-themselves-4700-pay-increases/ in all matter of opinion, our adversaries are insane.

Instead, they will get a $4,700 pay increase, amounting to an additional $2.5 million that taxpayers will spend on congressional salaries, and watchdog groups are not happy about it, and neither am I. I guess those like Nancy Pelosi can pay for manicure, while flying around in her private jet (that our tax dollars pay for).
