karl_chungusMembers of Congress may be about to get a pay raise for the first since 2009
And yet (for many) their net worth has increased significantly while in office.
If they outlaw congressional stock trading, I’m fine with them doubling their salary.
Seriously. In the grand scheme of things, they have super important jobs that should pay fairly well. They should make enough money that on their salary alone, they can afford to keep homes in both DC and wherever they are coming from. $175k isn’t really enough.
…and they need to make way stronger laws preventing them from engaging in any unethical revenue streams.
