Tip of an iceberg, that's all.
Silly congress sitting there with their pork barrel receipts in their pockets castigating another part of the government doing the same thing as they do daily--fleecing the American taxpayer. What irony!

So, we have a government by the people and for the people which makes the "people" the BOSS of the politicians.

I have to ask my boss for a raise, but politicians give it to themsleves, (and the taxpaying voters at the same time.)
