No law, varying the compensation for the services of the Senators and Representatives, shall take effect, until an election of Representatives shall have intervened.
Those in Congress cant vote themselves a raise, or if they do it doesnt take effect till the next Congress. This is good although these people get this salary for life, is this really what we want them to be able to do is to vote themselves a raise they will get forever really, I think not, fight the Congress.
The Perfect Political Cartoon
Although Congress has yet to do so, which would be political suicide the members of Congress like I said have no worries about the effects of the economy on their "lifetime" pay. Shouldnt we figure out a way to either prevent or stop this as it is draining the national coffers!!
A Stop Motion Video done by a Civics Student - Hilarious
The beginning of this video says it all in the fact that Congress decides itself what is fair for the job they perform. They are using the government as a piggy bank for which to draw from. Not only their salary but all of the travel expenses, food etc that they can use and abuse while in office. Lets stop the ignorance and wake up!!
