Question

I'd like to see because on one day they had to put off the decission to upgrade troops helmets because they had to vote on a raise for themsleves. How many raises have they given themselves this year?

Answer 1

Congress has given themselves 8 raises since 1992, the minimum wage has not been increased since 1992. It's $5.15 per hour now. No matter what Congress is paid in base pay it's about one million per year each. Their are 535 members of Congress and they are mostly already all million airs. Congress costs working class tax payers about $600 million per year, they only are in session about 45 days each year.
