Congress out of control

1 min read

Congress should set their house in order first. Everyone gets cut except Congress. They need money for potholes, bridges etc., are shutting down military bases, plus angle for all the pork they can take home for their re-election. Congress’ salary averaged $158,100 in 2004, with automatic raises since 1996 they gave themselves a $24,000 raise. Cut the automatic raises and put them on a standard Social Security retirement like everyone else.

Roll back the tax break on the top 6 percent of Americans; hundreds in congress are millionaires and corporate lobbyists own ’em. Bill Clinton said he did not need the tax break and others on TV said the same.

Congress is cutting up Social Security, Medicare and military bases. What’s next? Do you think cuts in congress? You would think when the economy is in trouble congress would want to

help.

This shows you that congress would rather shut down military bases than cut their salary or raises. Shutting down bases has a tremendous impact on families. Do you think members of congress care? This involves everyone in an out of Pennsylvania.

Who you vote ‘in for now?
