Congress votes on these things, they never seem to get slighted on pay, benefits and bonuses! Why is the most crucial and underpaid job out here a bargaining tool?

Most politicians, including the one who is current residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, are willing to say almost anything to get your vote.
