They have plenty of money to give themselves since they have steadily reduced veterans benefits over the years. When I joined the army, retirees got free health care for life. Along comes draft-dodging, dope-smoking (but didn't inhale), gay-loving, skirt-chasing Bill Clinton and now retirees have to pay for their health care.
It's funny how the social security system is supposedly running out of money, but there always seems to be enough money when congress decides to vote themselves a pay raise.
It really sucks for tax payers, but can you really blame them? After all, if you were in a position to give yourself a raise, wouldn't you?
Of course, they will have to raise our taxes to cover their new pay raise, but at least we now have a majority of republicans in congress which will at least put up the appearance of being against higher taxes. Democrats just raise your taxes and dare you to say something about it!
