Salary should be the average income in their district.

"How dare they" even ask for a raise in exchange for treason?

Seriously, though.

I've never wanted to shove my shoe up a group of people's asses more in my life.

At the very least, low median so they all are paid the same.

Three years of doing nothing but resisting Trump does not deserve a raise.

They are like spoiled self centered children with mummy's credit card.

Why do they get paid at all?

aoc says you should just pay them more so that they aren't literally shakes forced to take bribes and hurt the American people for their own selfish desires!

I agree with this, but only if we really enforce llobbyism rules and the bullshit that goes on with severe punishment.

Because a convention of the states has a high probability of destroying the Constitution. There would be no limit to the number of asinine amendments the lunatics (on both sides) would propose, and some would probably pass (in the spirit of "bipartisanship")

You do realize any proposed amendments would still need to be ratified by 2/3 of the States right? Very little chance of runaway "asinine amendments". Convention of States is our best hope to take back control of the government. Otherwise we're just trying to beat them at a game where they write the rules.

Doesn't matter - they make their money from insider trading and backroom deals anyway.

House Republicans took a stand against what many consider government waste this week by blocking a vote on a measure that would raise the current pay for some lawmakers on Capitol Hill.

Does anyone know the House Republican vote count for the $1.4T spending bill that just got passed?

Don't recall hearing a lot of Republican rancor over that.
