Gm letter to Suppliers

The above link refers to the 2004 pay raise.

I wonder what the 2009 raise will be since each one probably lost a portion of that $50 Billion invested with that Wall Street scam artist.

Here's the correct one!

"Members of Congress make an average of $169,300 a year, with Congressional leaders making slightly more. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Cailf., makes $217,400, while the majority and minority leaders in the House and Senate each make $188,100.

The raise will increase the average salary to about $174,000, up 2.8 percent."

Two things I don't get -
1. Why does anybody making over $150,000 need a cost of living raise?
2. Why is Congress willing to hide behind a law that gives them automatic increases every year?

By the way, the same article says the typical person on Social Security will get $63.00.

Sam, one answer for both questions: Beacuse they can.
