Like Thelma and Louise......

Well readers, here we go again.

WE are about to do like Thelma and Louise, and go over a cliff. This cliff, however, will not kill us in the physical sense, it will kill what we have come to know and love of this country called America.

Our politicians claim to be scrambling to get us to a resolve before we reach the barrier, and tumble over, so they say.

WE hear it day in and day out "cut medicare/entitlement reform, Cut planned parenthood, cut this cut that" then we hear from another side, "raise this tax, eliminate these loop holes, revenue this revenue that". It does get quite tiresome does it not?


But there is one thing that you never hear them discuss cutting, their salary. The whole government shut down thin we hear is really them not getting paid, there for they won't "go to work".

Did you know the average congressman makes about 200k/year? The senate (for example) has 2 per state, in 50 states.

2x50= 100 x 200,000 = 20 MILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR!!!

The average salary in the 1950's was between 33-45k. That is what most teachers begin to make in their first couple of years....

Take the presidential salary:

400k X 4 years is 16million!!

Not to mention they actually get that for life!!! On top of 10 years of secret service protection and other perks I am sure. And I'm pretty sure the same goes with congress that their salaries are for life!

In the house they get about 150K, and with there being nearly 450 of them, well you do the math for just one year of pay roll.




Brace yourselves America, this is going to be one HELL of a New Year in 2013!!!!
