Fimian Confirms He Wants a Cash "Carrot" For Doing His Job!

Unbelievable.
Look, I'm not advocating giving a $250,000 bonus if I balance the federal budget. But penalize me if I don't, but if there's going to be a penalty if I don't, give me a carrot so that I will and if I do."
Wow, great idea by Keith Fimian. So, along this line of "reasoning" (using the word loosely), if Congress wins a war (or keeps us out of one), perhaps they should each get a $500,000 bonus? How much for repealing what Republicans call "Obamacare?"  $1 million each?  A new bridge or highway in the district? Definitely a bonus for that. I mean, seriously, the possibilities are endless, now that Keith Fimian has proposed tying Congressional pay to performance. Ah, the Republican way...

So what's the $1 million... (0.00 / 0)
...in secret donor money rewarding him for?  Or are they just buying a controlling share in his future operations?

Impeachinelli! Now on Twitter.

How much to go away? (0.00 / 0)
If government were a business, it would be called "business," not "government." Go manage a hedge fund.
