Congress gave itself a pay raise! I guess they don’t have to worry about inflation now.

WTH! And they didn't even have to strike for it. Lets make it so they have to ask their bosses if they can get a pay raise.... USA what do you think... did they deserve it? Pcs of Sh*t
Strike as in not doing work? If that’s the case they are always on strike.
Just when you think they can't make you detest them more than you already do...
Bullshit. These assholes can be homeless and hungry for all I care. I’m struggling to feed my kids and I actually do hard freaking work. Ughhhhh I hate these people!
They hate you too!
Fkn parasites.
The report said, “Rep. Matt Gaetz (R., Fla.) received the largest share of funds out of any lawmaker,” having billed taxpayers nearly $17,000 from January through May to pay for his D.C. living expenses.”

It would be personal security expenses from the amount of power players he's seriously pissed off.
Time to clean house and senate !! Make the states pay all salaries and expenses for their own congress members, and all their staff. Banish them to their own states for most of the year except for a month in spring and a month in fall mandatory attendance every work day 9-5 to do only the most pared down federal business- tired of this leech government. Make them stay in dorms or govt housing during this time- any staff or expenses they need during this time, their state has to pay for. Streamline government, get rid of all those corrupt 3letter agencies and all foreign aid. One subject one bill, and they have to write their own bills - not pay for others to write them. Ban lobbyists and other leeches. Let the states handle their own business.
THIS NEEDS TO BE VOTED BY THE PEOPLE AND THE PEOPLE ONLY!!!!! Sorry for yelling. I've never gotten to vote on my own raise.
Using dominion machines?
Why not a $1M/yr raise? If they can arbitrarily give theme a raise; why limit it?
They limited it for a reason; if they had the power to do anything, they wouldn’t stop at this

This is worse than you think. This isn't a pay increase, it is a reimbursement mechanism. Reimbursements are completely tax free and do not show up on your W-2. They so the same with military for Bad is Allowance for Subsistence. It is a monthly stipend to pay for good and is theoretically a reimbursement. The same thing is done with Basic Allowance for Housing. The biggest difference is that the military is not getting nearly $3000 a month for food.
Officers get $311 per month and Enlisted get $452 per month for food. Any food they receive from base at the mess hall or dining facility is deducted from this amount (the member has to pay for each meal they eat at these locations). ~$3k per month is some fancy food money. I guess "pizza" is awfully expensive in D.C.
Haven’t you seen the cost of hotdogs and walnut sauce recently?
No. They don't carry those in the grocery stores I shop at. Our whole planet needs an enema
And you know they talked about how inflation affects then..that and a dry spicut for ukraine
No public official should be in charge of their salary. It should be done by a vote on the ballot at election time!
Where I'm at it costs about $30 to feed a person for a day, and that's when you're shopping at the grocery store or eating out at fast food. Every single person in a house cost $30 a day to feed now because of these cocksuckers and the policies they vote in. But they get to just vote themselves up for pay raise so that they don't have to deal with the actual consequences of their policies.
Hey, kongressvermin -- when do I get to vote myself a nice fat pay raise?
