WASHINGTON (AP) -- Despite record low approval ratings, House lawmakers Tuesday embraced a $3,300 pay raise that will increase their salaries to $168,500.
The 2 percent cost-of-living raise would be the seventh straight for members of the House and Senate.
So I ask. What the hell??

In the same story it says that they are not likely to pass a raise in the minimum wage. Just keep voting repuglican folks, they need the extra money more then a single mom working at Taco Bell that is for sure.

You'll be even more pleased to know that they recently knocked down a bill that would raise the national minimum wage.
