STOP THE RECKLESS SPENDING NOW!: The Continuing Resolution To Keep The Government Open Includes Pay Raises For Congress
This story was originally written and published by Joe Pags Staff.
House leaders released a massive spending bill right before the holiday recess, giving little to no time for members to review it, which included a pay raise for Congress if both chambers pass the bill.
The continuing resolution is 1,574 pages which no member of Congress will read and includes cost of living adjustments (COLA) giving members the first pay raise since 2009. Members of Congress need the pay raise because of how bad President Joe Biden’s economy has performed with skyrocketing inflation.
Each lawmaker currently makes a salary of $174,000 per year with leadership roles making more. If the CR is passed and Biden signs the bill, they will receive an increase of $6,600 or 3.8% COLA in pay, according to Maine Democratic Rep. Jared Golden.
