Lou Dobbs User ID: 103740 Canada 06/23/2006 03:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Congress stiffs working Americans [again] >For some reason, our elected officials decided against holding a news conference. Maybe that's because they didn't want to draw attention to the fact that they raise their own salaries almost every year while refusing to raise the pay of our lowest-paid workers.
