Seems to me that there's still a lot of pork and slop in the US Federal Budget.
Lots of things bug me these days about it... the fact that Congress exempts themselves from living just like everyone else is perhaps the biggest one.
If the rest of the US is suffering economically, why does Congress continue to get increases in salary? Maybe they should take a nice pay cut like many people have experienced.
If the proposed healthcare plan is such a good one, why is Congress exempt and get to continue their personalized healthcare? Why don't they get the same wages, healthcare, and retirement benefits that are Armed Forces and Civil Service workers get?
Hmmm, sounds elitist to me.
