Answer 1

Disgusting! Doesn't surprise me in the least. They are totally disconnected from the "real world".
I just answered a poll on msnbc. Here are the current results:
Do you think members of Congress should receive a raise? * 2321 responses

Yes, lawmakers work hard and deserve a raise.
2.3%
No, representatives are receiving enough money each year and should spend the funds elsewhere.
98%

You think they care what anyone thinks of them? Here is more information about what our elected congress collects....keep in mind that most of these people are extremely wealthy before they ever get into office.
With service of 20-25 years, a Member of Congress could retire with up to 80 percent of his or her final salary replaced. Of course, the only cap on how fast their benefits rise is the rate of increase in CPI. For this reason, Congressional pensions can and frequently do exceed a Member's final salary, but only after a few years in retirement, when COLAs begin to kick in. For example, a Member of Congress who could collect $5 million or more, if he or she retires in his/her fifties, lives until his/her eighties, and elects to leave a part of the pension benefit to a spouse, who then live 10 or more years longer. This could include George Mitchell, especially after his post-Congressional government service. With Cost of Living Adjustments, total payments over a lifetime can reach these levels (though the more typical payout is likely to be between $1 million and $2 million).

In the final analysis, Congressional pension benefits are 2-3 times more generous than what a similarly-salaried executive could expect to receive upon retiring from the private sector.
