After the billions (soon to be trillions?) Congress has been handing out, this is simply “pocket change.”

Of course, it might not set too well with the millions of American workers who are giving up their cost-of-living raises in an effort to save their jobs—if they still have them.

If you think this might not be a good time for your elected officials to take a pay raise, you might let them know how you feel.
