Congressional pay raises

This is disgusting!

President's executive order gives Congress and the Vice President a raise?!

Salaries for members of the House and Senate will rise to $169,300 from $165,200. Cabinet secretaries will make $191,300, up from $186,600. The vice president's salary will be $221,100, up from $215,700.

Through-the-roof debt and multiple foreign conflicts, and he signs an executive order to raise Congress's and the VP's pay?! I have righteous indignation because my party does not do this! Pretty sure anyway.

Wait, what's that at the top of the article?

Oh.

Party loyalty still blows.
