Although I do think he's an idiot, he does make some good points.

 

Rush may be on the mark on some of his comments, but as usual he shades the facts when it fits his agenda to do so. Congress can NOT raise its own pay.

 

I think the amendment is only saying that any pay raise will take effect after the following election. Plus a lot of these benefits are already established into law.

 

screw the system,lets get rich off of infomercial inventions.h:

 

Did you skip that day of high school goverment class?

They can... and DO on a semi-regular basis. The president's last raise in salary was due ONLY to the fact that Congress had again voted their own salaries so high that they were on the verge of making more than the pres. Seeing that, they raised the president's salary, then raised their own again.

Don't try too hard to fault supporters of the right, you might make yourself look stupid in the process.



That being said. Rush does make a good point. I'm not voting any-damn-ways, so it doesn't matter too much to me. But it is good to know.

 

The right is never wrong?

 

never

 

if you read the article you will note that he did not call out any party.... he just stated the facts and how they arent fair to the tax paying citizens.... and the first part obviously stating that our armed forces receive virtually zero benefit compared to the people who were lost on sept. 11

if you cant see that this article was not right wing propaganda, you either didnt read or you're just ignorant...

 

No. Apparently you did. They CANNOT raise their own pay. Read the 27th Amendment again.

When did they do that, and when did it take effect? Answer to the second part: AFTER the new Congress is seated.

If you presume to know the supreme law of the land without having read it, it's you who looks stupid.
