"Congress Gurantees its pay in case of budget failure:
The no budget, no pay act of 2013 is supposed to give Congress the incentive to pass a budget or forfeit pay. Reality is if they fail to pass a budget, the money still goes to them at the end of the 113th session. So instead of focusing on things like the budget, firearms, education, or even ground hog day, the house of Reps has spent countless hours guaranteeing their pay."
Ok... so you didn't know their m.o. by now?
To add insult to injury, the Federal Government already has over 250k employees with a MEDIAN annual salary of $120k + guaranteed bennies... and we talk about Greece!!!! We have our own Greece right here.
No wonder so many great folks are sacrificing their careers and flocking to the DC area for selfless public service.
