The sitting Congress and its predecessors have absconded with public funds through laws enacted by them to guarantee their own fiscal well being. To avoid the public outcry of increasing their own pay, the gentlemen enacted a law that mandated an annual raise which would automatically go in to effect each year with little fanfare. This is one of the many “little” things our Congress has done for themselves while under serving the people.Currently the major political parties are fighting for power but not for the people. How bad would it be for the 2 major parties to be eliminated since each of them (the parties) have members who share the same views (actually serving the people) and could possibly move this country forward instead of the sideways direction the current leaders are headed. The long term Congressmen have not had the interests of the people in mind except at election time and when it suits their personal interests. Once the perception of what is important to the public is known then the focus is there until after the election. After the election, it’s business as usual and the lies continues unabated.
