Lawmakers take a raise
Washington congressmen and women graciously accepted a pay raise today. So big of them.
It's only a 2 percent cost-of-living raise but it brings their salary to $168,500. This is atrocious.
I contend that our family has been in a recession for months now but the government refuses to acknowledge a problem with the economy.
How out of touch is Washington? Look at their salaries, their retirement plans and their ability to "embrace a $3,300 pay raise" while constituents can't scratch together enough money to pay their doctor bills.
