My SS “raise” was more than offset by my Medicare premium increase. Congress deserves a 40% reduction in salary.

100%!

The porky bill also exempted congress critters from the Obamacare health insurance marketplace disaster. Allowing congress health insurance from the federal employee health insurance plan.

[sopo]

Why so bitter, are you in congress?

[TexasGator]

Really. Why do you use Saul’s tactics instead of addressing my post?

[blueyon]

“40%...where did you pull that number from...
3.8% max”

I read on twitter or X, if true they want a pay increase, their rent, bills and food paid for..............it that is true - heck with them all - No pay raise

BTTT

[napscoordinator]

It’s barely that. They work 100 days a year max.

We need to double the number of members in the House of Representatives, actually.

Chevron Deference is over. Excess rulemaking in executive branch agencies needs to be replaced by actual legislation signed into statutory law. Subject matter expertise in Congress is needed.

Two Trillion is a good start.

[dragnet2]

2 trillion annually, (Every year) is a good start, yep.

Can you imagine? 1,547 pages...Leave it to a bunch of lawyers to come up that level of fraud and wordy jackassery.

I saw it on the screen at Fox news. It was right there: 40%.

[laplata]

Look at the headline of this thread.

[grame]

They gave me 42.50 raise in my SS. Do you think they gave themselves more? 😂

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

I’ll be lucky to get a 2% raise this new year, and they’re giving themselves a 40% raise??? Are there some ceremonial swords that these people could use to run themselves through for this intransigence?

[Enterprise]

THIS SHALL NOT PASS!!!!!

[grey_whiskers]

The commennts on the bill mention $243,300, I think the bill does too.

[laplata]

I was off $3oo. Oh, the horror!

[grey_whiskers]

Sorry, all I meant is that someone saw the dollar ammount in the bill.

Cynic says: does this mean the real amount if Bidenflation was that much?

[Georgia Girl 2]

who wouldn’t want a pay raise of $5,750. Per month? Unbelievable!
