40 % pay raise for members of congress. They have lost they damned minds.

[Paultricounty]

Pay raises for members of Congress, are you joking? For what should these inept incompetent people get a raise for? How about a reduction in salary?

[yambraham]

They won’t raise our minimum wage but they get a pay raise??? What good have they done??

[janetbrowning]

I'm definitely against congress getting a pay raise of any kind!! They are already rich enough...it amazes me that they actually had the nerve to put that in any bill!! If anyone earned a raise, it's the American public...remember us???

[kbyrd]

They really will give themselves a raise right in our face talking about trying to avoid a government shutdown?

[carolgrant]

Shut everything down except SS & Defense. This is absurd!!! One bill at a time or vote no. Enough is

[cedricbirth]

Its was a horrible bill. Congress doesn't need to get a raise!!!

[homefront]

Not sure how it's okay for Congress to dictate their own pay. This isn't a private business, it's not your own money that's being affected.

[CoolCalmCoop]

How can Democrats even defend this? If you really care about Farmers, then vote on it separately

[carolgrant]

Grass roots need to organize. Enough wasteful spending. No raise for

[b.elijahakinola]

Trump 2.0 odyssey begins.... Shut it down

[dstorm]

Speaker Johnson should have known better than to push forward that mess of a CR...

[gmrmj]

All Americans should be for lower federal spending.

[DYNAMITE]

“Massive” spending bill that funds the government for 3 months. Maybe he shouldn’t have increased the deficit by 8 trillion the last time he was in office

[markthomas]

A MASSIVE SPENDING BILL!!! Says it all!!! NO!! Its a disgrace!!

[freeman]

This nonsense bill shouldn't pass

[Dan.]

The people want to cut the politicians pay not raise it.

[carolgrant]

We the people and farmers, along with Truckers can march on Washington until this Congress gets this crazy pork fat spending bill shaved

[jrstsb]

He wants to cut spending but raise the debt ceiling, you can't make this stuff up, clowns.

[OhShiitakeMushrooms]

This is going to be a painful and long four years.
