Congressional Pay Raise Scam On September 14, the House of Representatives got a $4,000 pay raise, increasing its salary to roughly $162,000 for next year. When Rep. Jim Matheson (D-UT) proposed to freeze the increase, the House voted 235 to 170 to not even bring his proposal to a formal vote. At a time when wages are stagnating nationwide, Congress ensured that they’d receive an automatic raise, like they have for every year since 1989, on the taxpayer’s dime. capwiz.com Visit " The PIG roast...
