Congressional Salaries on the Rise Even as Obama Freezes Federal Wages

WASHINGTON -- For a guy who insists that federal bureaucrats make too much money, incoming House Majority Leader Eric Cantor sure doesn't mind handing out handsome government raises of his own.

Cantor, the Virginia Republican who has led the GOP charge this year to freeze federal salaries, has boosted his congressional office's payroll by 81 percent since coming to Congress in 2001 -- about 8 percent per year through 2009. When he became minority whip last year, the office's personnel expenses went up by at least 16 percent.
