Pay Raise For Judges Tucked Into Auto Bailout Plan

It's official. There is no shame on Capitol Hill.

Read from the Huffpo article:

"The raise _ an annual cost of living adjustment, or COLA _ would bring U.S. District court judges up to par with members of Congress, who will receive an almost $5,000 boost on Jan. 1. District judges and lawmakers now earn $169,300 a year but are expected to be awarded a 2.8 percent raise next year..."

And mean while, American workers making the minimum wage (or approx. $17,000.00 per year) are lucky to get bupkiss and their taxes for generations to come will be used to pay down the more than $1 trillion in "bailouts for corporate America and COLAs for high level civil servants. Ah, the land of opportunity.
