Food for thought.Congresspersons are BY FAR the most egregiously underpaid executives in America. The salaries of federal judges are also an abomination and should at least be doubled if we are to have any hope of continuing to attract competent much less exceptional candidates to these positions. People want to drive a Cadillac and pay for a Yugo. That never works out well.
Hard to think of a Congressman as being an executive....
Our chief executive is at 4 to 6 hundred thousand...with un-matchable benefits....The Ford CEO is at perhaps ten times that.
Something is out of balance and fairness here...
