We’re $18 trillion in debt due to the horrible decisions Congress makes, and they think they deserve a raise? No, they do not.
Should be cut to zero. Look at the mess this nation is in.
Only if they act like leaders will they get leader pay. My congressional delegation are a bunch of yes men, democratic foot soldiers. Followers and idiots. They should have their pay cut!

“the cost of living here is causing serious problems for people”
Of course. That is always the result of big government policies!
Idiots.
outside of a handful of ethical conservatives, i highly doubt that any congressman *ONLY* makes $174K per year. sleazy lobbyists with suitcases full of cash are practically lined up outside of the Capitol to make sure their pet piece of legislation gets the proper attention.
vast fortunes have been made by MANY congressmen while serving in congress on supposed fixed salaries.
Like heck they do. If anything, their pay should be reduced, and their number greatly increased (according to original representation fraction, Congress should have around 12,000 members now), so that pretty much anyone could be in Congress, they can't form powerful coalitions or be lobbied.
If anyone can be in Congress, then power can begun to be decentralized again. Also, the Senate needs to go back to being picked by the States.
STIMPY!
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
Most deserve a prison jump suit, Stumpy Hoyer included.
You’re a wit.
