Why is a raise being included in this bill. That should be on alone bill. I'm on social security and the cola raise doesn't keep up with inflation prices. I get $36 more starting in January. That doesn't keep up with my increases on my auto and health insurance, not to mention cost of groceries.
must be nice to chose to give yourself a living wage. People should vote on whether or not to grant a raise and not surprisingly i'd say no raise until you figure out a living wage for those you are representing.
So the main reason they need higher pay is because they are required to have 2 homes, one in DC and one in their home state? Maybe just.. don't make it a requirement to own 2 homes?
Get a raise when you suck at your job. You worse than suck, suck means you just did it bad, but you failed to pass a budget AGAIN. You shouldn’t get paid at all.
So 1500 page spending bill and the highlights yall came up with was 1) raise for congressmen 2) stubhub and hotel invoicing clarifications and thats about it. Amazing journalisming…
They should all have to pay for their own travel, meals,hotel stays, (plus tips), doctor bills, hospital stays, etc… they can afford it with thousands left over!
I love it when Republicans pass new rules on businesses. Quit claiming you are capitalists when you keep passing laws regulating businesses. No I’m not defending Ticketmaster, that is one company that I hate, but the big brother needs to mind his own damn business.
Maybe we should pay congress more $500,000 or more a year. But now they work full time for us no campaigning on our dime and no campaign contributions. We need to get the money influence out of politics. Also they shouldn’t be barred from investing in the stock market, they should be invested just like everybody else, but in a blind account they cant know what exactly they’re invested in and cant get into so they also have skin in the game.
More power needs to go back to the American people this is just the disgusting show at this point if Congress wants to raise then their state should be able to vote on whether they get a raise or not we need term limits on all these people 8 or 16 years at most that's it insider trading should be banned from these people because I love how they make $100 and some thousand dollars but they leave Congress or the house multi-millionaires doesn't make any sense at the end of the day the US government should just be there just to help the American people not help themselves
Gives Congress a raise? I thought raises were earned. Not self-imposed
Only for us deplorables

Those ghouls should all be in prison.
Or somewhere lower
Given all the insider-trading they do, and the incredible wealth they accumulate, seems like a raise isn’t really necessary.
174k a year... yet theyre all millionaires make that make sense
half of them are millionaires. Most of those came into Congress already rich, but to answer your question - INSIDER TRADING. Pelosi special.
seriously what a damn joke.
Shut down the government. squash this bill.
Never giving the government a cent again until I get my spaceship. I want off this sh1t planet!
I know that there were quite a few Republicans who where very critical of this spending farce.
Still, I'd like to know how each member voted.

I get 13k a year in disability with 23 a month in food help
Give the senior citizens a great raise. We need help!!
If anything, they should have their pay Reduced by half!!
They should only get 100,000 dollars pay.. that might reduce future polititions
from wanting to go there..And current politicians to want to LEAVE.
It's so sad they are feeling the squeeze of the value of their DOLLARS not going far enough each month! #Clutchespearls
Molasses regulators to regulate the already molasses regulators that we already pay for..
