Please God don't let Boehner or McConnell be so stupid as to jump on this particular bandwagon.

Congress needs to fire itself for malfeasance.

Alcee Hastings? Well, when you have the moral high ground you can ask for anything...

The COLA adjustment for DC is huge. I did a case a few years ago where the dad, my client, lived there. It practically cut the child support in half for mom who lived in the midwest.

“Hoyer: Members of Congress deserve a raise”
Raise them with our collective foot.
Between what they profit from the inside knowledge, what they steal, they deserve much less than they currently get.

How bout term limits and reduced sessions?
Seriously, raises are normally only given out for performance. Congress has delegated all of its work to bureaucrats and the president, so why do they need a raise?
Tie their pay to the average real wage of the U.S. citizen. Top it off with a bonus for increased equity of the citizenry.
Then we’ll see what their worth. Does anyone here know of any business where the employees vote themselves a raise? That’s another little feedback mechanism we need for these grifters.

Gentlemen, you are in Washington to represent and serve us. You are not there to get filthy rich on our backs.

Boehner & McConnell should be in prison, not getting a raise.

Do you want a raise? Then leave Congress and find a higher paying job in the private sector.

The only raise they need is an increase in the minimum jail time given when convicted of malfeasance in office

Democratic Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-Fla.) also pushed this week for bigger paychecks for members, arguing that the salary doesnt cover the cost of maintaining two homes, one in D.C. and another back home.

Most of them deserve free housing, three meals, and an hour in the exercise yard every day.
