Populist Time

I support Congressional pay raises.  I'm strongly against term limits.  I can't say I really care very much about post-service ethics laws; I'm not sure I'm against them, but it's pretty low on my priority list.  I like politicians, as a group.  When it comes to Congress, and really politicians in general, I'm almost always on the other side of the anti-corruption good government types and the populists, left or right.

But...

We're giving former Speakers almost $1M a year for five years to run an office?  Really?  On top of their (generous, and in my opinion well-deserved) pensions?  Really?

Why?

 No really, why?
