I think our senators, congressmen ect. are making way to much money. If we had jobs and were losing money we wouldn't get raises or vacations. If they were made to take a cut in pay and put it back into the states they work for we might get out of the mess. How many people can afford to have two, or three homes....several brand new cars most with drivers....can take weeks vacations. Its sad we are paying for their mistakes....their answer to everything is raise the taxes instead of giving up a house they don't need!
