This is nothing new, Congress has exempted itself from almost every law it passes. Employment law, social security law, pension law, etc. As our elected representatives, they should have to follow the laws they pass just as the rest of us have to do. But they've got this cozy little thing going, so don't look for that to happen until hell freezes over.

Do you think they will join us with the new Universal Health Care package they are concocting? If it is so good for Americans, it should be good for them too.
