Congressional compensation is a favorite political issue. We even have Amendment 27 to the Constitution which prohibits members of Congress from varying their pay until a congressional election has intervened. No one wants to be seen as increasing his pay while a member of Congress, thereby also being seen as using his political power to pad his pocketbook.  The political fear that this reluctance imposes has generated consequences significantly more adverse than a congressman increasing his pay. It has deterred from the ranks of Congress those who cannot afford to serve because of low salaries.  Second, it has generated an incentive in congressmen to find other ways, sometimes devious and criminal, to increase their remuneration. For example, we find as late as 2011 that Congress does not have restrictions on the ability of its members to take advantage of information unique to them in buying and selling stocks. Third, we hear stories about persons going into Congress as ordinary people but coming out as millionaires. Lastly, we generate a climate where wealthy patricians become the unique class of persons able to run and serve in Congress. There are likely many more arguments against the current system by which Congress compensates itself.
We believe the system can be much improved by establishing a separate committee to compensate Congress and to make it invulnerable to any influence by Congress. In all likelihood, the committee would increase congressional pay to provide incentives for increasing the quality and intelligence of better leaders in Washington, D.C.
It is often said that former Minnesota Senator Hubert Humphrey was the model of a public servant because he came out of Congress after many years of service with no more than he had when he went in. This should be the standard of a person whose fidelity to the country is his top priority.
