How does congress save the economy? Why congressional pay raises, of course….
More proof that our politicians are living in a dream world of do as we say, now as we do.
Admittedly, the pay raise was an automatic one, and relatively small, but as a gesture of contrition to the Americans who really are suffering, they should have voluntarily voted to freeze their pay.
It is the least they can do since the present crisis is as much their fault as it is any CEO anywhere….

And I don’t know the statistics, but I wonder how many of these yahoos were incumbents who the enlightened American electorate put back in office? I know one of our local “Representatives”, as corrupt as he is (he received “favors” from Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae) was sent back.
