Congressional Pay Raise

The elected and, some selected, on Capitol Hill got another pay raise over the night. It came to $4,700 per. To add to your tax bill multiply the pay raise by 545 to get the new total. If you're too lazy it's $25,615,000. They didn't vote on it since it's an automatic thing. In order to "freeze" their pay increases there has to be a vote approved by both houses of Congress. I'm sure that next year action will be taken to curtail the next raise. If not then, when hell freezes over.
