We are pinching pennies and Congress wants a pay raise?! NO!

[davesky]

Congress should be forced to live on Social Security.

[tonyaburrus]

Americans need to demand single topic bills going forward! There is nothing positive that comes from bills designed like this.

[KnightBishopThree]

Drunken sailors have more spending discipline than D.C. does. The plug needs to be pulled immediately!

[glennknauer]

Same old game of thieves. Wait til the last minute and try to hide grifts in thousands of pages. Then blame the opposition for holding things up.

[bjty]

The people should vote for congress pay raise not congress

[claudeyaz]

They said no 1500 page omnibus. .so renamed their 1500 bill continued resolution..
We are done with this last min guilting us into approval

[Robin-hn]

NO. (1547 pages) Never sign an overstuffed bill!!

[greggehrgood]

The insanity still trying to continue.

[The.Good.News.]

How can Congress get another raise when Social Security is left way behind schedule of just paying enough to support seniors?

[michaelblew]

Congress needs to adjourn every July 31, , no need for them to be there all year

[tobesmith]

1500 pages . Which could have been 200 pages and released Much Sooner. I am 100 percent positive it is filled with giving more power To our government. And taking more power away from us. Kind of what I think this whole drone things about

[CoryBradley-cppc]

Congress especially maga should NOT GET ANY RAISE.

[sarahrhodes]

Congress doesn't need a pay raise and Ukraine doesn't need more money and no masking or jabs that we don't need

[BonafideGail]

Elon paid to play. How easy it is to find a position if you show your cash?!

[victorrivera]

There has to be laws that prevent private citizens from interfering with the decisions of our elected officials, no matter who it is.

[GommunityCuidelines]

General rule of thumb: do dems and libs dislike it, if so it’s 10000% the best course of action

[AltPotus]

This is what you voted for. Get used to it.

[arkanstarmarketing]

Congress should not get a pay raise for doing nothing, and if they did, it shouldn't be more than that of SS recipients. The SS increase should be at least as much as Congress's increase in pay. One more thing: If Congress shuts down, could anyone from the House to the Senate go on working without pay? if so, then the Senate should not pass the Bill and keep on working and force the Democrats out because they wont work for nothing, even though they are rich.

[kevinbledsoe]

The citizens have had to deal with inflation and make cuts - every gov agency should have to make their OWN budget with CUTS OF 5-20%, LESS MONEY FOR ALL OF THEM . instead of more and more every year .
