If I had to describe their actions, it would be embezzlement. They are stealing from their employers, the US taxpayers, and there's nothing we can do about it.
Wow. 21%... That is the total of my raises for the last 15 years and I consider my raises on par with the norm. They must really be doing some fantastic stuff! By the way, who gives them their annual reviews anyway? kek
FTA: It's not technically a pay hike for congressmembers, but, in particular House members, are notorious for putting family members on the payroll. And for using staffers to run their errands and handle assorted personal projects for them.
This doesn't make it better, but it does clarify where the money goes.
The article points out that it is not a raise for the Congress members, but an increase in their budgets used to pay staff. They can then pay their friends and relatives who work for them even more, but the header is misleading.
Am I the only one that thinks this is hilarious?
Must be my sense of humor. I am still laughing.
I LOVE THIS SHOW!
Just when you think that the evil ones can't be more obvious, they are.
The best part of this movie is just how much many people can see with their own 2 eyes ... And still not wake up. Can't wait for more ridiculousness.

Got damn criminals!
I don't see Congress doing 21% more work.
At least someone is keeping up with inflation
That's 2% for each 1% of the country that approves of the "job" they're doing.
They’re just trying to adjust for inflation 🙄
