In a typical FOX/Repub candidate story,
Michelle Bachmann was on FOXNews saying that before Obama there was only one Dept of Trans employee who was paid over $170,000 and now there's 1690, which is true, and the sheep were all infuriated, with that damn Obama. BUT, what these slimeballs 'forgot' to say, is that this raise was OK'd during the Bush admin, in 2008, cuz Air Traffic Controllers' salary had arbitrarily been capped at $168,000, and Congress, incl Bachmann, voted for a small % increase, which put them over $170K. Typical FOX bullshit, that got the sheep all riled up, BUT, when you hear 'the rest of the story' you understand how the FOX Sleaze Machine operates....

Usually when you see a rise in pay for Congress it's for the most part a Democratic controlled Congress. Check your records. Sad to say, but true.
