WASHINGTON -
Fortunately for members of Congress, their pay isn't tied to their approval ratings.
Lawmakers in 2008 will receive salaries of $169,300, a boost of $4,100 over the pay they have lived with since January 2006.
That 2.5 percent increase is mirrored by similar raises for associate justices of the Supreme Court, who will see their pay go from $203,000 to $208,100, and Chief Justice John Roberts, whose pay will rise to $217,400 from $212,100.

Veterans recieving disability compensation, like me, recieved a 2.3% cost of living adjustment for 2008. That is a $26 increase for me, compared to your $4,100 raise. Thanks congress!
