ABC News: Congress Helps Self to $3,100 Pay Raise but Postpones Action on Spending and Tax Bills
So happy to see Congress is so committed to doing the people's business. And for my next joke:
"WASHINGTON Nov 18, 2005 — The Republican-controlled Congress helped itself to a $3,100 pay raise on Friday, then postponed work on bills to curb spending on social programs and cut taxes in favor of a two-week vacation."
