Congress Agrees on Self Pay-Raise

Finally something in Congress everyone agrees on - a pay raise. Apparently Congressmen believe they are underpaid and deserve more money. Yup - the biggest blowhards in the U.S. now earn over $165,000 per year, have the best health and pension plans money can buy - and have their own alternative to a Social Security program where they can actually invest their own money instead of loaning it to the government interest free.

It sure does pay to work in Congress these days - and now they can add another $3,100 per year...
