If they’re looking for a pay raise they should have gone into a different major in college.
Is this in addition to the salary they get ever after?
(Maybe that’s just the senate, I didn’t remember, but) Why the fuck do they get a salary for the rest of their lives??
I think political offices should come with a reasonable wage. Otherwise it becomes impossible for non-rich people to fill the roles. (This is more applicable to local, smaller offices)
I propose a simple solution. Take the median salary of their constituency and make that the pay. It should make it livable at least, and give incentive to get that number up.
For offices such as Senate/Congress where they need a second house because of the frequent travel between DC and their constituency a housing stipend is in order.
Seems totally reasonable to me.
So they get a raise while shutting down the government right before Christmas. Effectively putting thousands of federal workers without pay. I see where their priority are.
Congressional pay, and all federal positions, should be a function of the minimum wage. The job pays the minimum wage times some number. If they want a raise, the only way to get it is to raise the minimum wage.
I thought they just voted themselves pay raises when they wanted one.
These pieces of worthless shit
They can’t pass a budget though.
