Trey Gowdy to Democrat Jim Moran: The Notion That You Can Make $174,000 In This Country And Be Underpaid, Is Laughable!
Trey Gowdy to Democrat Jim Moran: The Notion That You Can Make $174,000 In This Country And Be Underpaid, Is Laughable!
Lib Dem Jim Moran argues that you can't make it on $174K. He told the website Roll Call,
'I think the American people should know that the members of Congress are underpaid"..."I understand that it's widely felt that they underperform, but the fact is that this is the board of directors for the largest economic entity in the world."
Congressman Trey Gowdy pounces. "I know a lot of people in the world who are underpaid, in fact, I live with one who is a school teacher" Gowdy tells Greta, talking about his school teacher wife. The congressman points out that no one is forcing you to run for congress every 2 years. He says, "If you don't want to do it, then don't run. But the notion that you can make $174,000 in this country and be underpaid, is laughable. We better off than 99.9% of the people that we claim to work for'

I think Congress critters should be paid a military E6's or O2's base pay. Or have their pay scale tied to the GNP and it's ups and downs. Then dock them a % for any deficeit spending.
