$193,000 annual salary. That's what Majority Leader John Boehner is paid each year. His personal net worth is estimated between 2.5 and $7 million dollars. Sen. Mitch McConnell Jr., Sen. Harry Reid, Sen. John McCain all pull about the same salary for their services. It's a fairly well paid group of individuals that represent us in the congress. The problem is they aren't getting the job done. Mr. Boehner has adopted the NO approach. It's a fairly simple doctrine, just say no to everything the other side suggests, even if it is something that his side wants and the american public needs. Now that's a reason to pay someone $200K per year!
I am personally sick of what these guys get away with. It's no longer a party issue as they are all pretty much guilty of doing the same thing. Do nothing while getting paid a salary that just about any american would be willing to work very hard for. It's time to cut the salaries of these people to $15,000 per year. If they are the great patriots they claim to be the money should not matter to them.
