Congress Gives Itself Double-Digit Raise, While Americans Struggle to Make Ends Meet
[link to townhall.com (secure)]

Amid economic turmoil for the American people, their representatives in Washington gave their offices a double-digit raise this month even as the average American worker finds their real wages decreasing due to inflation that outpaces wages at new.

The increased taxpayer funding for congressional offices is $134.4 million more than was allocated in the last fiscal year — a 21 percent increase — according to the House Appropriations Committee summary.

I’ve paid into social security for 29 years. About twenty of those at the max limit. I’ll never see a penny. What you complaining about? Boomers looted it and voted for those who did.

Here's a good one. Mom retired as a nurse with over 35 years in the field. Her best friend that never worked a day in her life, nor bothered to ever get a drivers license, is taking home hundreds more in SS than my mom.

How the hell does that work?

Change title. Double digit implies 10%. It is over twice that.

Hypocritical rhetoric, yes. But Is anyone thinking the system wouldn't be just as f'd regardless of how much they steal at this point?
