Pay Raise

The members of congress got a raise in pay for their cost of living. Hey I got one also with my social security check. What I can't figure is I got 2.3% increase and that was about $20. The senators make $150,000 a year and usually give themselves 8 to 10 Percent which is around 3 times more than alot of old people that don't have 401K or pensions to go with their S.S. checks for a year. I guess maybe if I wanted to make lots of money for nothing I should have run for office. I would like to see the politicians get a Social Security check of $500 to $1000 for a year and no outside help financially and try to live on it. I bet things would really change. Then again maybe they are as stupid as they act sometimes.
