The Maddow Blog- Rep. Phil Gingrey (R), who's currently running for the U.S. Senate in his home state of Georgia complains that his salary of $172,000 is not enough

Woe is Republican Rep. Phil Gingrey of Georgia, who bemoaned in a closed-door meeting this morning that he's "stuck" making a paltry $172,000 a year in Congress.... Capitol Hill aides can go work for a lobby shop and make $500,000, the congressman said, according to National Review's Jonathan Strong. "Meanwhile I'm stuck here making $172,000 a year."
