Well that would be 535 Congressional folks and how ever many Senators that are up this year.

Tell me you meant to say "435 Representatives and 100 Senators...." The total is 535.

Aren't guys who willingly accept a position driving an RJ for $18,000 -$22,000 per year degrading the profession?

Sounds to me like Jet Blue is the only "Blue Collar" airline. The rest are White collar.

I didn't mean to imply that I am sophisticated, but it seems like we're spending a lot of money that we don't have right now, regardless of whether or not we are collecting any tax revenue. The Fox News remark was an obvious barb, and meant to ridicule the fact that Murdoch's political views are expressed relentlessly, while being touted as fair and balanced reporting. We report (and tell you how to feel) and you decide (after we make sure to tell what to think). My opinions only...
