Its our money they use to bail out all of their financial woes -- yet they refuse to give us enough to free ourselves from debt -- instead offering tax rebates of $600 which isn't enough to fix any of our problems.. Congress then has the nerve to give themselves auto raises of $4,000+ .. I can't stand it anymore!!
