#1 The merit raises, which started in January 2008, were larger than expected and rewarded high-ranking employees.

Hypocrites. Rail against private sector pay and profits. I am ready for the checks to start bouncing, so heads can start rolling.

#2 Plus, they just raised the debt ceiling to like 13 Trillion. AAA status is about to go junk. Banks are failing. Healthcare for all but where is the money coming from? Governor of California can't even afford to pay his taxes.

This country is about to break apart and I do mean break apart. Kiss the 50 stars on Old Glory goodbye.

#4 Gee as a civil servant, I wished I was getting a 40K benefit package.

Oh wait - this is Senior Executive Service (SES). We're talking management. It isn't Civil Service. Something that kinda gets left out of the McNews article.

It'd be outrageous if it wasn't for the fact that the lawmakers themselves are either wealthy going in, or retire with nice pension. And their benefits package is in excess of 40K.
