Join congress and double or triple your salary, maybe more!

Your Congressman just got a raise.

Because they're doing such an awesome job already, they will now make $168,500 per year.

I mean, it takes a lot of work to continue to spend YOUR money by the truckload. So Lord knows they deserve more money for the effort of spending your money.

Can't I just take some greenbacks and flush them down the toilet? I's be putting them to better use.

Is there any point whatsoever to the 27th amendment?

I don't know, but I do know that it would be a lot more effective if packaged with the same term limits that were actually called for (and subsequently abandoned by the GOP leadership) in the Contract with America - 3 terms in the House, 2 terms in the Senate.

Sorry, can't go with you on the term limits thing. I do think people spend way too much time in Washington (like yours truly), but I am not a fan of term limits.
