Sinking to New Lows and Raising Themselves Up

With their approval ratings in the gutter, an inability to prioritize legislation, the deficit at an all time high, corruption leaking out of it faster than they can stick their fingers in the holes of the dike, and lacking in any remedial accounting knowledge for allocating funds in an efficient manner, Congress decided they earned a much deserved....raise.

Despite record low approval ratings, House lawmakers Tuesday embraced a $3,300 pay raise that will increase their salaries to $168,500.

The 2 percent cost-of-living raise would be the seventh straight for members of the House and Senate.

It's good to be the king, eh kids?
