Here’s some fodder for overthrowing our gov’t:

– The current salary (2009) for rank-and-file members of the House and Senate is $174,000 per year.
– Senate Leadership
Majority Leader – $193,400
Minority Leader – $193,400
– House Leadership
Speaker of the House – $223,500
Majority Leader – $193,400
Minority Leader – $193,400

If that doesn’t piss you off then this will:
Projected January 2009 Member Pay Increase of 2.8%
Under the formula established in the Ethics Reform Act, Members may receive a pay adjustment in January 2009 of 2.8%. This adjustment — if not revised by Congress or constrained by provisions of the Ethics Reform Act related to the pay increase for General Schedule employees — would increase salaries for Members of Congress to $174,000.

It’s no longer projected, they got it.

I wonder if they’re actually working 5 days a week yet.

Raise and interest rates and give all politicians term limits and pay cuts so they earn what an average American earns.

If they want to represent us, they should have to live like us.

I agree with you on why the Gov’t is doing that ddm, but you should read Ramsey Su’s WSJ article on allowing foreclosures.

Nearly 40% of the country rents, and less than 10%, I believe still closer to 5% are in foreclosure.

Foreclosure is a painful but necessary solution. It will hurt in the short term but help in the long term: upside down families can startover, those priced out can buy a very affordable house.

Politicians are doing everything they can to avoid any pain at all. In doing so they push the inevitable back and only make it worse.
