The news carries a story about the House of Representatives raising members` salaries from $75,100 to $92,200 per year.

The story then adds: ”The increase was part of a massive $14.5 billion deficit-reduction bill that passed on a 206-205 vote after a bitter partisan debate.”

This is a great way to reduce the budget and is right in line with the logic usually followed by Congress.
