..... House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi came out firmly opposed to cutting lawmakers’ pay, saying it would be beneath the dignity of members of Congress.
Pelosi told reporters on Thursday that allowing the automatic cuts should be “out of the question,” and responded to a question about whether members of Congress would be willing to accept a pay cut.
“I don’t think we should do it; I think we should respect the work we do. I think it’s necessary for us to have the dignity of the job that we have rewarded…
“”It’s a hard question to ask me because most of my colleagues are the breadwinners in their families. A pay cut to me doesn’t mean as much.”
Congressional salaries have been a sore point for some members of Congress ....

Hunh?
She sacrificed away her dignity decades ago.
Sounds like Flacco, it isn’t about the money, it’s about respect. All he team mates that helped with the SB know now where they stand.
I’d vote for means testing Congressional salaries and freezing all assets when elected then up to 10 years after they leave office...
Ignorant s*uts have no dignity.
And as such, she is in ideal company being a congresscritter.
wow just wow..............my dog took a bm just this morning..he didn’t look dignified. Just sayin’
If we paid her what her and her “dignity” were worth she would owe US money.
This is from several weeks ago.
Properly rewarding you for the job you have done would not involve a paycheck, but a rope.
If they ever leave!
The Whore of Babylon has more dignity than Nancy Pulosi.
True that!!!
Maybe they should go back to exempting themselves from insider trading laws. Nancy made a fortune doing that. Dignity has got nothing to do with it.
BOTOX is expensive!
Let me Quote Obama.
“I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money. “
If anyone has made enough off of our Government it is Nancy Pelosi.
Her tour in Congress and the laws she helped pass to make herself rich have made her the richest woman in Congress.
How much is enough for Pelosi, and when she speaks of dignity I think of her and the rest of those knotheads marching across to the Capitol with her oversized gavel,flaunting herself for wqinning.
Dignity? How much dignity can a Dalesandro have after robbing Baltimore .
He “made an image of Muhammed”?
Dignity is a term used in moral, ethical, legal, and political discussions to signify that a being has an innate right to be valued and receive ethical treatment.
Pelosi is exactly what is wrong with the government. She should be arrested.

Well, boo-darn-hoo. Based on a per-hour of actual time CONSIDERING legislation (which, after all, is a major part of her job description), Nanacy Pelosi is far too well paid already. After all, wasn’t she the one who said “we have to pass this bill to find out what’s in it”, when the “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2011” was passed?
This woman is completely lacking in critical thinking capabilities.
She got fired from the Speaker of the House job - wasn’t that a cut in pay right there?
