Congress gets yet another pay raise, we get a recession
How DO these people sleep at night? I personally invite each and every one of them to the Gulf Coast to visit with those of us they've forgotten about. They better hurry, though, my temporary shelter will be gone soon. Course, there is standing room only in there, so they would have to visit single file or congregate in the driveway aka my new living room. Oh, wait, what was I thinking? There's plenty of room in the house, just no walls. I can entertain them in there. I want them to see what *NEED a pay raise* REALLY means. I want them to realize that WE pay THEM. I want them to justify to me, face to face, why they think they need or deserve a freakin pay raise.
And then I have a friend in Michigan who I'm sure would like to speak with them, they can go there, next. She has a disabled daughter who requires 24 hour care. Her husband lost his job and hasn't been able to find anything but short term temporary side work ever since. She also tries to make a living online because it's less expensive to do that than pay for care for her child. They hover on the brink of losing their home, too. Go tell them why you need a pay raise, Congress.
You know where I read this? It was in the newspaper, in the Sound-Off section, at the bottom of the page, just a few lines. Wanna know what was on the front page with full headlines? FOOTBALL. Now there is something of critical importance for ya.
If you're not ballistic over this insidious pay raise, please, for the sake of your family, rush to the nearest emergency room and have them check for a pulse!
