President Bush signed an executive order Thursday to raise the pay of federal workers, members of Congress and Vice President Dick Cheney in the new year.
Congress passed the pay raises earlier this year, but Bush was required to sign an executive order to enforce them.
This bill also gives a raise to civil servants and uniformed military, that part is good.
But to give the Vice President a raise as millions of Americans struggle to feed their families while stuck earning an embarrassing minimum wage is criminal. Dick Cheney has more money then he knows what to do with, and if he was any kind of human being he would give his vice presidential earnings to charity.
But the words "human being" and "Dick Cheney" just do not go together.

They could all take a lesson from Russ Feingold, who gives his "raise" back every year except those in which he is reelected. I think he is the only one who does.
