Politicians are overpaid. They are worse than CEOs as they waste our tax money. At least don't squander tax money, like politicians.

Nancy Pelosi thinks a pay cut is below her ‘dignity.’
Her Senate pay is a pittance compared to the government contracts she steers toward her husband.

Time for this old bag to retire.

Time for the old bag to die.  No need to pay for her retirement years.

That's a little harsh.  I don't want her dead, I just want her gone. :rofl:

I don't want to keep paying for her period.

If she merely retires we still have to pay her sorry ass.

I wish we could amend the Constitution so that every time there is a tax hike the house, senate and the white house all get a pay cut.

Talk about checks and balances. :)
 Know what would even better? If congress and the white house had to take pay cuts everytime the debt ceiling was raised.

Politicians should not get paid at all. It should be a public service and an honor, not a career to sponge off the taxpayers for life.

So, if we cut this dead beat's pay we humiliate her as well? Where's the down side to this? :confused:

She wouldn't have the dignity to retire!! It can't be the money; she has enough. It has to be the power.

The founders of this country never meant to make politics a career.

Below her dignity? Really? Yet DOD employees are set in their mandatory cuts to lose a day a week for half a year. It's not below their dignity to take a 20% pay cut though right? And one because of the nature of it doesn't allow them to substantially redirect their efforts to make that money up(ie an extended furlough might allow someone to take a part time job that fits within the current schedule of their family obligations) It's not below the troops dignity to not be properly trained and equipped for any potential act of aggression right?

Why aren't these same politicians outraged over the fact that some of the entry level or middle income DOD employees with kids could now qualify for food stamps with this cut? You know the same people who get so outraged that walmart employees qualify for the same assistance?


****ing forked tongue assholes.
