House Democrats Suggest They Need a Pay Raise
 
By Rusty | Featured Contributor | June 5, 2019 1:57PM

House Democrats are so pleased with their performance in Congress that they believe taxpayers should be giving them a $4,500 pay raise.

Spending leaders have reportedly voiced support for 2020 funding bills that would no longer block cost-of-living adjustments. Congress had voted to freeze congressional salaries at $174,000 in 2009 as the midterm elections approached and while the Obama economy struggled.

GOP leaders struck down the automatic increases every year since.

They need to stop spending money they don't have.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

I guess the graft that makes them all millionaires is insufficient?

They’re overpaid as is.  Particularly once benefits and retirement are taken into account.

 888high58888  Exactly.  A pay raise for doing what?  Sitting on their butts and allowing the invasion at our borders to continue?? I'm sorry, but the can kiss my grits!!!
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

They aren't in it for the government checks.

I suggest the House democommies focus on protecting the sovereignty of our country and the safety of its citizens.
Principles matter. Words matter.
