The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

I'd commend them for it, but I would need to see how many of these dems voted for the automatic pay increase they all get in the first place.

They (members of both parties) voted for automatic pay raises so that they wouldn't have to vote on pay raises anymore and have the press about it.

And they can't do anything without a majority, as they are automatic. 40 means nothing, as there is nothing to filibuster. It's done (sad as that is).

The concept of voting yourself an automatic pay raise is sickening.
