Apparently Congress thinks a 14% Approval Rating is Worth a Raise

Isn't it lovely to see where the working man's or woman's tax dollars are going towards. I wish I could sit around all freaking day without really lifting a finger and demand a raise. Oh wait that would be kind of hard to do since I work for myself, hmm will have to have a talk with myself later about said raise..lol It just really ticks me off that while the common person slaves away basically, than you have the morons in congress that hardly do a dang thing getting richer and richer from doing nothing but basically sitting on their butts.

nothing surprises me. they do nothing and want more. It's amazing how they keep cutting programs but yet keep giving themselves raises.

I likely have around a 75-80% approval rate at work and can't get a raise. Where do I apply for a job where I can sit and play solitare on a government issued computer, lie my butt off to anyone who will liten, sleep during meeting, have the taxpayers pay for everything, and generally do nothing for months at a time? And that is just the ones that show up for work occassionally. We the people need to step up and call the entire government out. From the President on down to our local garbage officials. We are supposed to have a voice let's use it.

The only problem is that all of the rest of us don't have the power to actually grant ourselves a raise! I suppose if I had that power I'd give myself a raise, too. But I would be earning it! I can't stand to not do what needs to be done. Shouldn't the public have a say in whether or not the legislature and administrative government employees get raisies? Bet that proposal wouldn't even get to committee in Washington.

Gee I wish I could have there Job they dont do a Damm thing but argue with each other all day over stupid sh** then oh gee I think we should earn more money so lets cut some Funding on this Program the People don't need it. I Think the People should have a say in What these worthless people get paid and not Themselfs. I Think American People need to stand up and start some stuff about this.

I think all this negativity towards are government could have a positive effect on our country. I am hoping because of the tremendous disapproval we are experiencing as a country towards our "government" it will lead to an elevated number of people showing up to the polls come election time, especially college students. Being a student myself it drives me nuts to hear my peers complain about their government officials, then not show up when our message can be heard loudest in a little makeshift booth with a curtain in front.

I think you are missing something here. The Pelosi/Reed Congress should get a raise. Yes a raise on a fork lift. That's a little humor that my husband likes to say. He used to drive forklifts back in the day, but I do kind of like that Congress doesn't do anything. You know people are always gripping and complaining that there is too much bickering and complaining in government these days, but I kinda like it. First of all, it gives me something to respond to. Nothing like stupid Dems saying stupid things to create a topic for me. Second of all, as long as congress is tied up not doing anything, congress can't infringe on our liberties. No bill is a good thing.
