Lawmakers could get as high as a $6,600 pay raise as part of a short-term government funding bill that's set to get a vote this week.

“COL living raise for me but not for thee.”

    Best do nothing then!

    So with the bullshit down and gloom, that’s how they get away with never fixing anything. It’s also a lot easier to trace insider trading when they go through a proxy.

      Oh I’m not advocating for nothing, just saying that alone this isn’t enough.

      We should absolutely outlaw congressional stock trading, and more.

      Please don’t mistake my desire for something more comprehensive for apathy.
