That isn't quite accurate. Congress hasn't gotten a pay raise since 2009. Because they vote against giving themselves one.

    Ah, I'd read they didn't have to vote to get a pay raise. Didn't see that they had been actively voting against it. But who needs a raise when you know you'll get waaay more money from corps and special interest groups? Heck, they'll even write the bills they want passed for you, so you don't even have to work hard.
