But that’s for the Little People.
Hey, they want to live in the lap of luxury! Who are their constituents to deny to them?
You see, the median income is just not enough to keep up with elected officials’ taste for the finer things in life.
Its an entitlement.
In the REAL world, the employer sets the wages and/or increases. I suggest the people who elect someone to an office should be the same ones to “evaluate” the elected person effectiveness, be it good or bad, and THAN set the amount of increase if any has been earned.
No, our elected officials have passed into law, automatic raises for themselves. If no-one questions said raises, they automatically go into effect. Pretty slick of them I would say.
