No pay raise to congress......period.

[Fai Mao]

Congress should be a part time job.

[sopo]

They are going to lose the PR war just on that

[dragnet2]

40% Pay Increase to Congressmen?

What kind of increase did the tax paying peons on Social Security get?

1% ? 2% ?

[BBB333]

2.5%

[shadeaud]

Along with no pay raise, no.to Giving R F K stadium to the “ Commanders”For a new stadium. So much crap and too many sponges in both parties maybe we need a shut down till the grown ups take charge( I know the irrelevant media and children in congress will blame President Trump).

[Enterprise]

No no no. You simply don’t understand. Congress NEEDS a raise because of out of control inflation, because of out of control Congressional spending. See? /s

[Fungi]

Elon and Vivek should ask if one single congressperson in the
house read the bill.

[Fledermaus]

Hey better start “getting it”.

[Manic_Episode]

The next spending bill should include a 50% pay cut.

[beekay]

This is not a Continuing Resolution. A CR would only take about 12 pages.
This is the Democrats farewell spending bill and an attempt by the Congressional criminals to protect themselves for their actions over the last 4 years.
Looks like Congress did not get the message of the past election.

[dforest]

I second that!

[Thank You Rush]

Think of the time Nancy has to read the bill as she recuperates from surgery....probably it would be the first bill she’s ever read...

[dforest]

2.5

[9YearLurker]

Our Congress Critters are pathetic.

And I’m talking about the Pubbies.

[AAABEST]

Did anyone see Thune’s face after the DOGE statement? Turtle’s SwampWhore looked like he got a big bag of turds for Christmas.

Hating the fact that he has to answer to primary voters soon, and that Trump is coming.

[Sacajaweau]

40%...where did you pull that number from...

3.8% max

[laplata]

They are paid $174,000.00 now. With a 40% increase it would be $243,600.00.

[TexasGator]

“40% Pay Increase to Congressmen?”

Max of 3.8%. First raise since 2009.

[PeterPrinciple]

Others, including Judicial Watch’s Tom Fitton, noted that the CR will also allow members of Congress to swap out their Obamacare insurance plans for the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP). Per Punchbowl News, “Under the Affordable Care Act, lawmakers and some designated staff are required to use an Obamacare exchange instead of the FEHBP.”

“Rules for thee…” said Fitton.
