"The House of Representatives, with little comment or opposition, on Friday approved an 8 percent increase in the budget for members' office expenses."
Can I approve an 8 percent reduction in my taxes please? It's nice to know our elected representatives will not suffer during the recession - its important to keep all the mistresses on the payroll during these challenging times. And to think the scandal in the UK was over allowances of up to $75,000 compared to the $1.5 million each Congressman gets. As I was told as a kid - everything is bigger in America!
