Then they are doing better than those of us who pay their salaries. During Obama's first term, median huosehold income dropped by $4300.

Here's what public servants don't grasp...their salary (with benefits) needs to be somewhat proportional to the amount of money we (the public you serve) have to give you. Today, we don't have the same to give you that we had 4 years ago, we have $4300 less (on average).

They shuold be thanking their lucky stars that they have the same salary (and fat benefits) they had a few years ago.
