Says student-loan subsidies needed in hiring market

August 25, 2009

A month after they voted to punish some corporate executives for taking hefty bonus payouts, members of the House of Representatives quietly gave their own staffers a new potential bonus by making even their top-earning aides eligible for taxpayer dollars to repay their student loans.

The change, which took effect in May, means House employees earning up to $168,411, or the top level, are now eligible for government-funded subsidies to help pay down their student loans.

House officials defend the change as a job-related benefit necessary to keep the government competitive in the hiring market - the same argument corporate chieftains used to defend their own pay scales.

But they are freezing the Social Security increases for two years.

Obama should be impeached! Any one that takes care of his cronies at the expense of the elderly probably should be more than impeached!
