(For anyone that doesn't know, if you are elected to Congress, you get full pay for the rest of your life, even if you only serve one term). These thieves known as Congressmen and Senators have stolen from the American public for too long. They vote themselves their salaries, retirement benefits, health care, etc. It's like the fox guarding the hen-house. There really needs to be an agency, NOT made up of ex-congressmen, that determines the pay scales for congress, not the congressmen themselves.

Hear! Hear!
