The article leaves me conflicted. On the one hand we as citizens are usually better off when congress does nothing. Many laws are useless, knee jerk reactions thought up for political gain and only help a very few people and cause trouble for others.
On the other hand these people are being over compensated. professional politicians who seem to want little more than spend my money, give themselves raises, and live the life of a celebrity.
Government employees (congress included) have forgotten that they work for us not the other way around.
