President Camacho and his mighty pen.

Just a little “thank you” from Barry to all of his supporters.

[Tzimisce]

Yeah well - it’s time you racists shut your mouths and pay your fair share.

The liberals won after all. :)

How was the COLI suspended to begin with?
His executive order?

So will the House fund this when they cave on Os other demands?

[Trod Upon]

Parasites. Where’s that can of Raid when we need it?

Take them to court. Some of that can easily be delayed two years:

27th Amendment
No law varying the compensation for the services of the Senators and Representatives shall take effect until an election of Representatives shall have intervened.

Thank you James Madison! Now somebody file the injunction to delay Harry Reid's raise.

BTW, although this is now counted as the 27th it was written as part of the original Bill of Rights and was actually listed 2nd there. Freedom of Religion etc. was 3rd, Right to Bear Arms 4th, etc. The original 1st remains unratified, but eligible if 27 more states sign on. Oddly we're actually in compliance with its proposed limits on the size of the House.

This is all about paying off his constituencies. Half a percent to stop the screaming from the federal employees that are unionized. Half a percent doesn’t go a long way when the cost of Obamacare will raise their premiums way more than that.

[[in effect giving some federal workers a raise. One federal worker now to receive a pay increase is Vice President... ]]

Meanwhile, millions of elderly livign on next to nothign aren’t ‘due a cost of livign increase’ because ‘the cost of livign index shows no cost of livign icnrease apaprently for the last 3 years’ DESPITE the FACT that EVERYTING has skyrocketted in price to a point where people livign off a scant $1000 a month or less in soem cases can’t afford to get even the basic necessities anymore-

But by golly, make sure congressional rich folks get their pay icnreases- They’ll be enjoying hteir lucrative increases while millions of elderly will have to live in homes that are far too cold to live healthily in- and will have to make a choice between eating or gettign their medications-

Congress should not receive a paycheck in 2013 at all. What have they accomplished in the last four years....NADA! They have been an accessory to the increased debt every time they vote for a higher amount.
