if there is nothing intelligent to say then always attack someone by all means.... that makes for amusing conversation.

it would just be very uplifting to the country as a whole to see some sacrifice and dedication on the part of the folks running the show.

Yeah - damn those AWFUL California judges who supported equal marriage rights for gays and lesbians.

I'd rather that legislators be paid a wage which is competitive with those of comparable ability and education in the private sector so that government will attract talented individuals than make a "symbolic" gesture worth very little money which might drive talented individuals away.

Unfortunately politics is all about "the show" and not about actually getting stuff done.

No disagreement here. I blame voters like boann, not the politicians.

Maybe we should base their retirement pay on GDP growth from beginning of their tenure to present. Or weight it so that income growth among lower classes counts more heavily. And make it fairly large. > 1million per year. Maybe subtract something for national debt growth.
