  1. Congress recently voted themselves a pay raise? That did not happen.

  2. No point in blaming politicians. They don't elect themselves.

  3.  @americandeplorable8423  That makes no sense. If you don't like your representatives, vote in someone else.

  4.  @brandonmurphy4657  Congress members get paid $174,000/yr, and that hasn't changed since 2009. Their pay has been reduced by about 25% since then, due to inflation.

  5.  @stevenwebster3286  I can't imagine being as negative a person as you are. Life is a tough enough grind without making it worse.

  11.  @SpreadGuts  Members' Representative Allowance is not the same thing as salary. It was $174,000 before, and $174,000 afterward.

  12.  @SpreadGuts  Your comment makes absolutely no sense. You took my comment above, in which I corrected your mistakes, and tried to make it your own. And then reached some crazy conclusion about inflation, which is unrelated. Stick to facts.

  13.  Rodney Howard  This thread is further evidence that we live in a post-factual world.

  14.  @Tlittau3944  I hope you checked it out

  15.  Rodney Howard  Members of Congress make the nominally the same today as they did 13 years ago, a 25% reduction if inflation is counted. Those are the facts.
