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.

[2ndDivisionVet]

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

[Lets Roll NOW]

No Steny, most politicians need to hung for treason.

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.

[poobear]

As they continue to print more money and spend like mad men! We are nothing to them!

[ryan71]

These people make me ill.

[navet97]

None at all or

Let them match what they authorize for the military pay raises!

“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.

[no-to-illegals]

now ... which one of you folks clamped down on congresscritters stealing of your money .... just go away ... Let ‘em congresscritters steal all that is possible from ya ... Okay?

[Regulator]

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.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

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

[Political Junkie Too]

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

Democratic Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-Fla.) also pushed this week for bigger paychecks for members, arguing that the salary doesn’t cover the cost of maintaining two homes, one in D.C. and another back home.

[Moonman62]

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

[NorthMountain]

Seppuku, Steny.

It’s the only way ...

[Red Badger]

$174,000 a year?

Nearly 3X my annual. A$$holes......................

[US Navy Vet]

Steny Hoyer is the type of “Man” who I would like to “raise” by kicking him square in the NUTS!

[headstamp 2]

Professional politicians.

[Zathras]

Why...all they do is travel collecting donations and then pass whatever Obama says pass.
Congress could be replaced by an group email address.

Raises should be tied to increases in 1) the national GNP, 2)the the after-tax medium household income, and 3) inversely to the National Debt.

You want to strike trade deals offshoring our industries to China, you take less raise. (And you should not be allowed to own foreign stock as a congressman.)

If growth only comes from inflation. Fine your raise will keep up with inflation but won’t exceed it.

If you want to flood the country with low wage immigrants, then you take a hit in your raise as medium income falls.

If you give us tax breaks you get a raise.

If you fund the government with debt, you lose some of your raise.

You want to tax us more? If you are successful, you take a hit too.

You want to tax us less?
