Democrats hungry for pork in auto bailout bill

Well well, looks like there is another treasure hidden deep within the Automaker bailout. This time it's a 2.8% raise for Federal judges next year, justified with the "raise in the cost of living." Oh, by the way, their current salary is a paltry $169,300. How could they be expected to survive on a salary like that?

Seriously though, is there any responsibility left in Washington? NOBODY in Washington should be getting a raise, NOT A SINGLE PERSON. If anything, salaries should be cut! People are losing their jobs, being forced to collect unemployment, and Federal judges want a raise to offset the "cost of living?"

This is hubris in it's purest form.
