So in these terrible economic times Congress get it's automatic salary increase that amounts to $4,700.00 per person or a total of 2.5 million dollars for the year.
They had the opportunity to vote for legislation that would have frozen salaries but they chose not to do this. With many of their constituents losing their jobs, and homes I think it is morally wrong of them to take the increase.
Instead of automatic pay raises Congress should be forced to vote on a salary increase each year. Then we could hold them more accountable when the economy is in shambles and people all over the country are struggling to make it from pay check to pay check.
