"Put Up or Shut Up" time

Boehner under fire: First cut should be lawmakers' salaries - TheHill.com
QuoteQuote:
Soon-to-be Speaker John Boehner (Ohio) is being pressed by taxpayer groups to slash the salaries of House lawmakers.

Cutting member pay would show voters the new GOP majority in the House is going to lead by example in their efforts to rein in spending and start with their own wallets, say officials with three prominent taxpayer advocacy groups in Washington, D.C.
Commment :

What a great idea, bet it won't happen though. It seems fair to me, I didn't get a salary increase last year becasue of the economy, nobody in our company did, even though they made a larger profit. It would be good start to not give Congress a raise, after all they don't really deserve one. We are watching Boehener, lets see some cuts now. Start with your golf junkets.
Let the dance begin...............

AND it's still the banks fault........

Stick It To The Banks -- Vote GOP!
Best exit poll finding of the night, per Marc Ambinder:

Who's to blame for the economy? Bankers (34%), Bush (29%), Obama (24%). Of those who blame bankers, Republicans hold an 11 point advantage.

Hilarious. And more evidence that the biggest political paradox of the election is that Republicans have seized the mantle of economic populism.

For the 24% who blame Obama for the economy, presumably they are blaming him for not being able to travel back in time?

You guys are really going through some interesting times. If the electorate is looking to people like Boehner to clean up politics... well....

The biggest joke is Republicans and the banks - Guess we'll REALLY punish them now. I mean the banks, for the Republicans just having the House is punishment...

But hey, the overwhelming Republican landslide victory has already given us dividends: there were 151K new jobs created just yesterday! And, did you notice, your paycheck has less deductions since a year ago: YUP you have a tax cut already! The Republicans have succeeded in driving Obama from the country! And we need to make sure we don't drive those high paying proprietary trading positions off shore. so let's be careful how we implement the Volker rule... and another thing, we need to roll back the socialist Obama tax policies towards corporations moving jobs overseas.

The country really is becoming a parody of something (not exactly sure of what yet but it's not good) sure proves "truth is stranger than fiction" , especially when the truth in itself is fiction.......
