Virginia Democrat James Moran is whining. You see, according to moron Moran, those poor Congress critters are underpaid! They are such victims you know. Each getting $174,000 tax payer funded salary, with those in leadership positions getting over $200,000 in tax payer funded salary. If this doesn’t make your blood boil, I don’t know what will. These lazy bastards (both Democrat and Republicans, House and Senate) are underpaid> Give me a f*cking break!

| Virginia Democrat James Moran – Congress is underpaid! |

Virginia Democrat James P. Moran said he plans to highlight the injustice by introducing an amendment to the Legislative Branch bill during its full committee markup, and at floor consideration of the bill. Moran made the comments while the bill that funds members’ $174,000 salaries was being marked up in the Legislative Branch subcommittee.
“I think the American people should know that the members of Congress are underpaid,” Moran told CQ Roll Call. “I understand that it’s widely felt that they underperform, but the fact is that this is the board of directors for the largest economic entity in the world.”
The senior appropriator pointed out that some members have taken to living out of their offices to save money, while others have “small little apartment units” that make it impossible to spend the time they should with their families.
Most state legislatures provide their members with a per diem allowance, Moran argues, so the federal government should do the same.
