That was a great rant wasn't it?

[specsaregood]

I particularly enjoy how every single speaker is giving props to Dr. Paul.

[specsaregood]

I wonder who the 13 sunsabitches that have voted No on this so far are. That takes some balls.

Nothing much, they are currently voting on a bill Dr. Paul co-sponsored to freeze congressional pay next year.

Its gonna pass, right now it is at 402 to 16. Butyou gotta wonder about the reps voting no.

hey you have to let the free market work. if they don't raise salaries they won't continue to get the very best people!

Except it isn't a free market type raise system, it is automatic.

Yeah, it was nice. I didn't capture, I'm sure Dr. Pauls rant will show up however.

Jason Lewis was talking about this last night. He claimed that all the Reps that voted against this bill were members of the "black caucus". I haven't independently verified this, but if true.....somewhat interesting.

Edit: looks like 13/15 were.

House Bars Pay RaiseThe House of Representatives Tuesday voted against giving themselves a pay raise this year.

The House approved the freeze 402-15. All 15 members who voted against blocking the pay hike were Democrats. And 13 of those were members of the Congressional Black Caucus, including House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, D-S.C.

House members not in leadership currently make $174,000 a year. Salaries doubled for lawmakers over the past two decades.

The Senate approved a similar package last week. But the legislation is different from the House bill. So the provision must again return to the Senate before it can become law.
