I think we need less congress not more.
maybe this could be the next theme for the teabag party/rally.


legislative branch will increase 5.8 percent
this year, boosting Capitol Hill’s annual budget to $4.7 billion.

are we really paying $8,785,046.72 per year per congressman /senator?

I dont' believe these numbers, this is absurd, and getting even more absurd.

$4.7 billion budget for 100 senators and 435 house members?

and none of the detaied info is available online.
