So no democrats, just repubes will get a pay increase?
Republicans Look to Give Themselves a Pay Raise After Securing Benefit Cuts for the Poor
"This is outrageous," said one critic. "Democrats should raise hell over this."www.commondreams.org
The same folks that were just a few weeks ago hysterically clamering about our budget deficit vote themselves a salary increase...while taking an ax to programs that help the poor.
This misses the point – Democrats don’t support cuts in social programs.
talk to me when they get their approval ratings to 30%.....A 4.6 percent increase does not even keep pace with inflation.
Congress has not had a pay increase in 14 years
You never want to talk to him again?talk to me when they get their approval ratings to 30%.....
You avoided saying the democrats would receive a salary increase as well.
You are dishonest and none of those asshats deserve a raise.
We need to fully remove the social safety nets in our society. They’re immoral, unconstitutional and just wrong-headed on every level possible.
That being said, Elected Officials as a rule are vastly overpaid and need to have their salaries quartered, at least. Just as they should not be making a career of public office-holding.
Of course, and allow only property owners to vote, and give the 1%ers another tax beak, and re-elect trump so he can share secret documents with Poootin.We need to fully remove the social safety nets in our society. They’re immoral, unconstitutional and just wrong-headed on every level possible.

Oh Jiiimmm!
Where'd ya go, Jim?
Huh.
Hey Jones?
JONES!
Whereya at?
Come on out from under there, you two...
Only one of those I agree with is the land owners one. I believe in a flat tax with no exemptions or deductions and I have no use for DJT.Of course, and allow only property owners to vote, and give the 1%ers another tax beak, and re-elect trump so he can share secret documents with Poootin

Wait, you think only land owners should be able to vote? Am I correct in understanding what he are saying?Only one of those I agree with is the land owners one. I believe in a flat tax with no exemptions or deductions and I have no use for DJT.
No one is arguing that Congress does not need a pay increase. The argument is the hypocrisy of repubs who speak from several sides of their mouth.It is not really practicable to have a permanent residence in your home district, and someplace tolerable to sleep in DC on a Congressman's salary. It seems like a lot, but it can't work without significant other income. A wife's job or "other stuff."
Twelve years without a COLA? Gimmeafukkin break.
Really, everyone who votes against this should have their pay frozen.
You are 100% correct. I also believe you should be required to have been born here, have a high school diploma/GED, and be a tax payer in order to vote.Wait, you think only land owners should be able to vote? Am I correct in understanding what he are saying?
If you include Burger Fliippers, cashiers and janitors it is in the upper 10 percentThey make about 175,000 a year. That's in the upper 10% of earners in the US.
And for a bunch of poor people, they sure are trotting out a bunch of millionaires.
And unless they win the lottery- ain't no raise going to keep up with Bidenflation
talk to me when they get their approval ratings to 30%.....
You're thread was and still is a lie. List the cuts to the poorMy thread is pointing out the hypocrisy of repub leadership who have plans to shut down the Government. The repubs are models of hypocrisy.
