boosting the salaries of lawmakers, now $158,100, by about $4,000 in the new calendar year.... or about 2.5 %, which is more than the 1% inflation that they claim exists.

6th straight pay raise? 6th straight pay raise? Unbelievable! Fire these turkeys! So, you've decided to promote our culturally acceptable stupidity --- to complain about lawmakers pay without a shred of thought or consideration.
Well, thank you. Your post is both highly ethical and informative.

First they claim that the rich are getting too many tax cuts. Then, they give the rich people pay raises. Damn hypocrites!

People here on FR are against term limits so they must like paying those turkeys for doing nothing. At least term limits would spread the gravy around to more turkeys.

Who would you rather have running the nation - a wage earner or a business consultant / corp executive?
I can tell you this that $150,000 in DC is not enough money to attract top talent.

"With little debate, House lawmakers on Tuesday included themselves as part of a pay raise that all federal employees will receive next year."Well of course they did.
What'd anyone expect 'em to do?
...take a pay cut? :o)

Sen. D'Aschole claims that the cost of living adjustment is NOT a pay raise!
I know that I'd sure like to have a "non-pay-raise" like that!

THE "TWO-PARTY CARTEL" again at what they do best. No one surly thinks this is going to change by voting them back in.

Considering that we the people foot the bill then we should have some say. Also bear in mind that at America's founding being a public servant was not supposed to be a road to riches, but rather a duty and not a life long career.

I haven't had a pay raise in 9 years but my taxes and cost of living keep going up.
Sounds like it might be time to clean house AGAIN!
Damn these people.
