I fail to see the reason of the Senate's approval rating is higher then the House's with Harry Reid not having had a budget in over 1300 days

He has to give them a raise to make up for the tax increases they will get because of their failure to do their jobs!

“Obama Orders Pay Raise for Biden, Members of Congress, Federal Workers”
12:50 PM, DEC 28, 2012
by DANIEL HALPER

SNIPPET: “President Barack Obama issued an executive order to end the pay freeze on federal employees, in effect giving some federal workers a raise. One federal worker now to receive a pay increase is Vice President Joe Biden.”

It’s simple, most of the American people are uninformed.

Individually, small or in large groups...hammer your elected to follow the Constitution and STOP the SPENDING....Obama knows this country doesn’t want to give one more dime to Washington Bureaucrats i.e., the elected....they are not doing their jobs so he does it by EO. Government already pays higher salaries than the private sector....like the Drug Cartels paying kids etc. to work for them and make as much in a day more than they can in three months doing honest work. This is economic madness....plus Obama is cutting our Military back - HARD - but giving our senators, congressmen etc. higher pay...for what? For joining the Obama train....it’s called in some circles, PayBack and that is wrong!

Via an EO? What the hell is that - can he do that? Which one of the Patriots appearing on the Sunday shows will call this out?
Sadly - I think we already know the answer - this is sad.

WTH???!!!

Don't give them a pay raise.
Stop their pay altogether until they do their freaking JOB!

If you don't come up with a budget that will cut the defecit, no pay for you!

If my boss had an opinion of me that equated to an 18% approval rating as congress has, it would be unlikely that I would have continued employment.

According to disclosure forms, Biden made a cool $225,521 last year. After the pay increase, he'll now make $231,900 per year.

You mean to say that Joe Biden LIED when he repeatedly told audiences at campaign appearances that he was in the Middle Class?

A lying SOB like that has NO class.

Well, if there’s no Constitutional consequence to not passing a budget in any year, much less 3-plus, I don’t think Senators should be paid if they refuse to do their jobs. Or... Harry Reid, being the Obstructor in Chief in the Senate, should be obligated to pay the Senators’ salaries.

What else will get their attention?
