1  I dug further last night and it seems that they didnt vote themselves a raise but their staff is the winners. Who is their staff? Well, according to the Hill 11 of them have openly listed family members as staff members. I believe we can safely add a zero to the 11 and we are only half way there. How many more are unlisted.  Then theres  AOC whose boy friend is on her staff, not directly related but she will share in this wealth redistribution. How many friends are reaping the rewards of this?   Did you know that Pelosis top aide takes home a cool $199,000 a yr to schedule her botox treatments and make sure that all of her, on our dime, military flights are stocked with Russian Vodka.
   Dont piss down my back and tell me its raining that you didnt vote yourselves a raise.
 
 

2 Don't kid yourselves. Of those who run for reelection, 92% will win reelection, and of the ones who don't the replacements will not be any better.

When Republicans controlled Congress, even with a Republican in the White House, they claimed to be powerless because the Democratic minority was blocking their every move.

Now, in the minority themselves, they are almost never able to block anything Democrats want to pass. Democrats fail only when one or two Democrats refuse to stay in line, not because of Republican obstruction.

3  And as they drive us over the cliff, we in the back seat can only watch as the horror unfolds. Not that some of us arent going kicking and screaming.

4 Great points all Mike.

How much of this staffer money is going to be laundered back to the Democrat pols?
