God bless his beady little heart, Dem.- Idaho sez:

"We are fighting terrorism on numerous fronts and our economy is in serious trouble, unemployment is at record high levels and our future budget deficits are predicted to be the highest in the history of this great nation," Matheson said. "Now is not the time for members of Congress to be voting themselves a pay raise." "

and: "Without counting outside sources of income, the earnings of members of Congress rank within the top 5 percent of the nation. "
