Why was this in the bill? It's only supposed to help the auto industry, not pay raises. The most ethical, honest congress in history!
Who put it in? Harry Reid and the dems.
Where is the outrage. I guess there isn't any!
"Pay raise for judges tucked into bailout plan
By ANDREW TAYLOR, Associated Press Writer Andrew Taylor, Associated Press Writer – Wed Dec 10, " Pay raise for judges tucked into bailout plan - Yahoo! News
WASHINGTON – If the $14 billion bailout plan for U.S. automakers passes, it will help more than just Ford, Chrysler and General Motors. Federal judges would get a pay raise, as well.
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, said Dick Carelli, a spokesman for the Administrative Office of the United States Courts.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., insisted that the judicial pay raise go into the automaker loan measure, which is the only item of business on Congress' lame-duck agenda.
