“In August, Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced staffers’ salaries could exceed those of lawmakers. Members in both the House and Senate, with the exception of leadership, make an annual salary of $174,000. Staffers can make up to $199,300. The MRA increase would allow those at the lower end of the pay scale, such as staff assistants, to be paid more. Members would not receive a pay increase under the bill, a point of contention for years.”
No, they boosted their slush funds.
No matter WHO gets paid, it’s GOVERNMENT getting paid. We don’t need these maggots making more money.
In other words, the 21% pay raise thingee is true, since ApePee decided to “fag-check” it.
Financially, increasing their “budget” by 21% is WORSE than increasing their salary by 21%.
Congressman’s salary: $174,000
Congressman’s budget: $1.5 million
No, the boosted the amount their Offices get to run - salaries, ‘expenses,’ and other stuff. Frankly, that’s the place where the biggest theft/kickback enrichment can come from, IMO.
Like hiring your ginger boyfriend or girlfriend, son, uncle, daughter at an inflated salary? hmmmmmm..... Anybody ‘member the bit about Unca Joe getting a kickback on all that???
And those bonuses should be tied to:
like THAT is a distinction...
i see, not paying the terrorists more, just buying them better bombs...
They boosted the salaries of their staff. What’s the difference?
Oh well. They only INCREASED their EXPENSE budget by 21%. That’s different, never mind. /s
Must get the facts right.
So now Nutsy can buy even more booze.
Hey, give them a break. Congre$$ needs the extra dough. Like AOC driving a $60k Tesla and maybe having to pay off her student loans. Can’t expect her to do that on a mere $174K a year.
Well, just I read that they did. Now it appears they did not, and that they have not had a pay raise since 2009.
It's lies all the way down, from both sides.
$50,000 bonuses.
No, they boosted the salaries of the friends and family they hire.
