It could be worse – imagine if the per-bill rate were lower because more of the loony House stuff was getting through the senate.

“113th Congress are being paid $4,368 per bill passed over the two-year session – or $2,184 annually.”
Yeah, somebody needs to take Algebra again.
If a person is paid $x per bill over a two-year period, how much money is he paid per bill over half that period? (See below for answer…)
