If I got an extra $4500 a year I would definitely call it a raise.

I'll ask my boss, and see if he agrees it's not 'like a raise'................

“We should be fighting for a $15 minimum wage tied to inflation so that everybody in the United States with a salary, with a wage, gets a cost of living increase.”

Works for me. I'm all for Congress getting paid $15 per hour as their minimum wage for freshmen representatives and senators.

She has like not even a brain.

Who are the shape shifters propping this dimwit up, and for what purpose? She's in the "glass of water" district in New York city, Pelosi said it best.

Raise your hand if you believe that $4500 will keep these poor, starving congress critters from dipping into lobbyist and special interest funding. Anyone???

If she puts the $4500 into a 401K or IRA, it’s an investment. Something she knows nothing about?
