Why hasn't the media made front page news out of Congress giving itself a $3,300.00 pay increase?

Answer 1

The first thing you need to understand is that the media has an agenda. The media's agenda does not include making certain politicians look bad or being honest with the American public. Therefore, there is no way this story will gain front page coverage because it does not fit the agenda. Look at the soldiers killed this week. There has been no outrage in our media against the scum who tortured these men. Yet the media climbs all over our soldiers if they do anything that looks like torture. Why doesn't the media lash out against the pigs who desecrated these fine men? Because it would promote patriotism and unity in America. Unfortunately patriotism and unity do not fit the media's unamerican agenda either. Hope this helps clear things up for you. www.todaysperspective.com

Answer 2

Simply because Congress has voted down an attempt to raise the minimum wage from $5.15 to $5.85 and it would look bad if people came to know that they didn't get the wage raise but their congressmen and congresswomen got a hefty pay raise. At least 8 million workers make minimum wage, and they don't want these poor people to know that their representatives ditched them.
BTW, it was the republicans who didn't let the wage raise happen. The "liberals" wanted it.

Answer 3

It didn't make National News when some CNA guy working in an nursing home only ten miles down the road from me was caught sticking his penis in a demented old woman's mouth and was put in jail while the State of California came in two weeks later and passed the facility to keep operating as usual!!!!!!!! This world has truly gone mad huh?????

Answer 4

Its old news, Congress does'nt even vote on the pay increase anymore because they made it so they would automaticly get a cost of living every year. Out of sight out of mind. I think it's excessive what these moron's make.

Answer 5

Wait........

Isn't it illegal for Congress to vote itself a pay raise under Amendment 26 of the U.S. Constitution?
Congress does get raises to keep pace with inflation, though.

Answer 6

What might want to be outstanding is that if human beings take care of to keep in mind this and vote them out contained in the subsequent election. we do not carry them to blame for ninety% of what they benefit this for sure they abuse our tolerance each and every chance they get. If a dogs urinates on the carpet you spank them and rub their nostril in it. in case you do not then you mustn't be very much shocked the subsequent time they urinate on the carpet. observe the timing of the upward push. the subsequent election is a lengthy strategies off and through then this can be forgotten as another disaster or celeb scandal will dominate our interest. we can re-opt for them as we always do and they are going to save peeing on the carpet.

Answer 7

Is that all?? I'll bet it's alot higher than that. Just sounds like too little to me. You do mean the Congress in Washington right?

Answer 8

because they have such a "liberal bias" they don't want to report on what the liberal congress and presidency do...

... wait a minute... conservatives have the majority and the presidency? Maybe the media isn't as biased as they all cry about?

Answer 9

Because they don't want the people to know. Just remember that pay raise next election. i believe it is the only in our government that can vote themselves a pay raise.

Answer 10

$3300 for the NEXT Congress.
