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'................

[stanne]

They have driven us to 22 trillion reported debt. They should get nothing that seems like as much as a 10 cent per year raise

[Nuc 1.1]

No money for congress critters or senate critters until the border is sealed and all illegal aliens deported.

[gundog]

It’s more like tip for really good service.

[neverevergiveup]

Congress-people should be paid less, not more.

[BenLurkin]

This genuinely sounds like John Semmens satire:

“[E]verybody should get cost of living increases to account for the changes in our economy, and then when we don’t do that, it only increases the pressure on members to exploit loopholes like insider trading loopholes to make it on the backend.”

[Army Air Corps]

Ping.

[VR-21]

The modern American political class. Self-serving, rapacious, greedy and corrupt to the core.

[SkiKnee]

Last raise I got was a year ago. $1200.

For the mathematically challenged, such as this dingbat with her economics degree, that's $100 per month.

[SMARTY]

$4,500!!??

In the real world, that’s a chunk!!

[unixfox]

Peanuts!

[Bullish]

Lord, what a idiot.

[NohSpinZone]

And the clown is missing the point by making this purely about salary. You have to factor total compensation, as we say in the corporate world.

Here’s a short list of the perquisites she and the rest of the do-nothings get:

https://www.fool.com/investing/general/2013/10/20/10-perks-congress-has-that-you-dont.aspx

239 days off in a calendar year for campaigning and such. Amortize that and her salary looks yuuuuuuge.

[I want the USA back]

She has joined the ranks of the privileged ruling elite, which takes all the privileges that it can, while scorning the people who work to pay for those privileges.

[Brian Griffin]

She’s gone from weaned piglet to a Smithfield size pig in about the usual six months.

[morphing libertarian]

didn’t she get 10 mill from netflix Obama’s new trough?

[The_Media_never_lie]

Most teachers don’t get a $4500 raise. What’s she talking about?

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

If the pay isn’t enough, they can always, like, look for a better opportunity. You know, like most productive citizens do.

[LexRex in TN]

My math says that a $4500 increase on a $174,000 salary is about 2.6%. My “raise” last year was 1.5%. F@#* off, AOC.
