Clicky Poll on Congress paying themselves

Re: Clicky Poll on Congress paying themselves

  • Seems like the red and blue have come together on this one!
    No Siggy

  • Well I should hope so...Smile Just because I'm a red doesn't mean I think they should get paid for not doing their job...but I also think that if half of them got off their a$$ and took a pay cut so that they lived like the rest of us, we'd be bargaining more...but heaven forbid we should try and set some pay boundaries, and maybe term limits...

    I agree on all of this.

    I mean, who else gets to decide when and how much of a raise they get?! Raises for congress (state AND national) should be decided on by the public.

     

    it's easy to decide to "hold your ground" during a shutdown when you're a) overpaid as is and b) arranging to make sure YOU still get paid.

  • Oops, I don't know how to change my vote to "NO"

    I thought it was for their whole term (my answer to that is yes, however there should be a limit, for pete's sake - these people VOLUNTEERED to run in the elections). I didn't see "during the shutdown," I haven't had enough coffee yet. 

    I agree with everyone else, no way should they get paid. This is ridiculous.
