“Anybody smart enough to handle a $500,000 a year job is smart enough to structure a compensation package that get around any maximum salary law written by Congress. Lonesomecharlie” Really? Sean Penn? smart enough to get around a salary law written by Congress? But ya do have a point! That’s why we will need an agency to monitor ALL transactions, bank accounts both in and out transactions, as well as off shore banks. We will need “Life Style Monitors, LSM’s” who can keep an eye on folks to see if their “living beyond their REPORTED means” This would require household inspections say every other week, The LSM would go into your house and do an “inventory” on all your “stuff” just to make sure your not STILL cheating. Oh we will also have to change that pesky order thing, ya know “innocent till proven guilty" to "Guilty till proven innocent". Thankfully we have patriots like Barney “Ernst Röhm” Frank to make this become a reality! Happy days are here again! Ya Buddy!

Franks.

Pelosi is too stupid to come up with any original ideas “500 million Americans lose their job EVERY MONTH!”

“As an added benefit of being in Congress cap their total gross pay at $100,000 above their federal pay.

bout68”
“Congress cap their total gross pay at $100,000”
Do you mean the amount of money these tools collect after they leave office?
Like Dashell getting 1 mill a year to ride around in a car?

Congress’ salary should be capped at $20/hour, maximum of 40 hours/week.

What’s that, Bwarney? you don’t like that and as a “little person” I should mind my own business?

Yeah, right.

The Judge said on Fox one day this past week that there is a specific clause in the US Constitution (he named it, but I don’t remember what it is) that forbids Congress from interfering with private contracts. He said that clause made this type of action unconstitutional.

I’ll see if I can find that quote by him….
