The GOP only pretends to care about government spending. They are trying to give themselves 8k per year raises.

[Billy000]

Is anyone still actually under the impression they care about “fiscal responsibility”?

Oh and some of the programs they are trying to cut otherwise benefit the poor and middle class.

House Republicans want to give themselves $8,000+ pay rises, while furiously opposing other government spending

Gotta cover the cost of Bidenomics. Wasn't that long ago $174,000/year was considered peanuts.

AOC complains that her $174,000 annual salary isn't enough to start a family for "working and middle class" people like her

Who cares?

Politics in the US are an abomination.

The RNC/DNC are sleeping in the same bed. Congressional Reps as well as the senate members will get their raise & a LOT MORE before it's over.

The Dems will pretend their outrage but in the long run will vote for it too.
Both parties can kiss my ass.

Let us know how hard that hits the federal budget. That would be what ?

8,000 x 435 ? or about 3.5 million.

Now what is the deficit again ???? 1.38 Trillion is the number I recall.

That is 3.5 x 10^6 and 1.38 x 10^12

So your percentage of the deficit is 3.5/1.38 x 10^6 or about 0.000235% of the deficit.

Hope that helps.

Typical lame ass deflection. Democrats didn’t even try passing legislation for this lol

I really think this is a non-issue, with the economy doing well it’s a pittance.

Oh gee congratulations on your calculation. Hell it’s not even true to the story because they are actually shooting for over 8k. That’s just the minimum increase. Do you morons just automatically knee jerk try to defend anything republicans do? if democrats did this instead you would thrown a tantrum over it. Because they are republicans you defend millionaires getting more money they don’t need. You’re all stooges lol

 

[RhodyPatriot]

Yeah.

Even politicians can't keep up with inflation.

The Biden economy's a total shitshow, huh?

I'm guessing you would prefer they gave themselves a $34,000/year subsidy, like the one Democrats gave themselves last year.

New Rule Could Give House Lawmakers a Tax-Free $34,000 Pay Bump

I was just using your numbers.

You didn't like the percentages ? You think that a 0.000235% hit on the deficit is to much ? In real numbers it would work out to about $2.35 per million.

Just pointing that out.

You sure seem touchy for such a great critical th......uh...wait.

Would it kill you to be a real adult and address the actual topic instead of deflecting like a little bitch? Like at the very least you could acknowledge the OP with “oh republicans shouldn’t have done that but guess what here’s this link!”

You can’t even do that. You’re a toddler. You defend ANYTHING they do.

Certainly didn't defend the $34,000 subsidy, hell, they managed to sneak it in.

lol you just knee jerk argue with anything I say because you’re absolutely desperate. But I get it, you also knee jerk defend republicans.

Let me spell out the obvious for you: those republicans publicly whine about needing cuts to government spending but also want to enrich themselves with government spending.

I hate to break it to you but they don’t give a flying fuck about tou.
