mandate that Congressional salaries are no higher than the median household income of the state in which they represent.

Today President Obama decided to give Congress a pay raise. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? (This is bi-partisan outrage). We're all broke; we're all tired; we're all scared; and we are all fighting each other over political views that seem smaller in comparison to our country's massive debt. You get a pay raise when you do your job well; which these Congressmen/women have obviously not. You get a pay raise for seniority; to the senior members: Thank you for your continued contribution to the debt. You get a pay raise when you're a valuable asset to the company (America) you work for; you are certainly not valuable. So why a raise? Especially when your salaries are at minimum nearly three times that of the highest median household income by state in the country.
