$4500 is most assuredly a raise. This woman is completely out of her mind and completely out of touch.

The only giant sucking sound that persists seems to be Congress bellying on up to the bar.

She argued that members of Congress arent paid enough, and so they often turn to lobbying or other related fields in which they can make more money.
So, she is advocating for elective politics as a life-long profession.
Incumbency has been one of the major problems with elective politics.
Hints are that she wants to jump over to the Senate. As soon as she is eligible she will become a fixture running for the presidency every 4 years.

I doubt that such a statement would be true in terms of constant Dollars.

AOC is one of the many poster children for the incredibly out of touch, irrational democrats.

I haven't had a new car in 37 years, taken no vacations, put my own kids thru college, use only an American Express card (pay in full monthly), walk my dogs for leisure, exercise, and psychological advice.
What type of raise I get or don't get effects me not a bit.

Works for me. I'm all for Congress getting paid $15 per hour as their minimum wage for freshmen representatives and senators. You know, that is SUCH a fantastic idea... let's make it a maximum wage too.

You have to give her credit for a creative argument. Pay Congress more and they won’t have to sell out to corporations.

If I got a $4500 raise I would immediately move it to salary deferral plans and STFU.

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

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