It is my understanding that Congress decided not to get their pay raise this year.

However, they then voted to make it automatic and permanent starting next year AND they increase their annual postage/travel allowence to $90,000 per year. Please note that this is a 200% increase.

I wonder which part of the bail out this falls under.

I also read that a fellow in Florida had the real solution to the economy.

40 million people over the age of 50.

Solution, give each of them a Million Dollars.

Comes with requirements as follows:

1. They must retire. 40 million job openings, employement fixed.
2. They must purchase a new car. Auto industry fixed.
3. They must purchase a new home or pay off mortgage. Housing problem fixed as well as the banking problem.


Sounds like a plan to me.
