Did the Congress deserve their raise in salary?
)
December 31st, 2012
The President just gave himself, federal workers, Joe Biden, and the members of Congress a pay raise.
By executive order.
The Congress created the so called fiscal cliff with an enthusiastic bipartisan vote. It is being regarded as a serious problem if and when goes into effect (tomorrow). It is New Year’s eve, they have had well over a year to work on this and they refused and continue to refuse to fix it. I guess, since they know everybody’s taxes are going to go up tomorrow, they figure they might as well get busy spending this new found money while they have the chance.
My cynicism aside, since the raise is clearly is NOT for a job well done, how is it justified?
