I wouldn't give these f**k a raise.
However, if you could somehow earn a lot of money being in Congress, say $2 million a year, imagine the type of people who'd run? Real economists, scientists, etc I'd imagine. It would also lesson the stranglehold of lobbyists (since it's what the do after).
If huge salaries could entice people who would do good work to join congress, I'm all for it. But kick this jack-offs out first.
