They need to lower all their salaries for wasting so much time on things they know won't pass.
They want to try to make this about Biden to make the real president look bad
My feelings are more important than your facts,this is magasplaining hypocrisy grifting by MTG.
@@markrosenstand4796 mark you represent narcissism at it best!
@@rcustis2645 I make a good sarcastic cheese melt too.
Agreed
Can we drop her salary to $.01? That is literally what her contribution has contributed. She isnlying about what he has done through the Infrasteucture bill etc. In fact, can we claw back every penny she has been paid so far. Her objective is division and hate and ugly. She has proposed NOTHING of value yet takes credit for the Infrastructure bill outcome whoch she voted against. O am tired of her.
If Pete's wage gets dropped to $1,00 then Marge's should be dropped to her paying $5.00 to work for the House.
Thank you MTG.
Does she ever have anything positive or intelligent to say? Has she gotten one bill passed (of her doing)?
She doesn't know how.
Why does he ( 2nd speaker ) think its ok to be Hired by America but NOT do his job ???
Because he listens to his Bible. He does not have to listen to American people. He has a higher authority than the people who elected him.
It's the democratic way. MTG shows evidence. Second speaker deflects with his feelings of what MTG motivations are towards Buttigieg. One is factual the other presumed.
God told him not to. ;)
@@marshallvanstee4777 Please tell me what part of the Bible you're referring to that supports his argument. And which Bible?
??? Who is 2nd speaker? Who are you referring to?
It is personal it’s our money!
108 of the 126 flights for DOT trips he has taken have been on commercial airlines.
she doesn't care about that ! this is just a spiteful, homophobic attack on Buttigieg. No evidence , just silly phrases like "pothole Pete" from a woman who hounded a teenage mass shooting survivor, screaming at him in the street - how low can you go Marj?
hes already making 174k a year, he needs any private flights? Most of the people he is supposed to be representing dont even make 1/3rd of that.@@dutchdna
They really need to do something about MTG for someone who says there's no racism or antisemitism she goes on a rant every single day about those two things no one else keeps stirring the pot of racism and antisemitism but her 😢
If you are hired to flip burgers and you don’t you are fired, even if show up everyday.
Right. Also, imagine if you say the burgers are racist. Fired on the spot for being mentally deranged.
So should all Republican congress people be fired because of a lack of passing ANY legislation at all for the American people? I mean, their job description is "lawmaker" isn't it?
Its not a party thing in my eyes. I dont care what party these reps are if they arent REPRESENTING THE PEOPLE. Their job is to pass bills. Their job is to make improvements for US. The American taxpayer, not the millions of immigrants that arent paying for the services that are costing hundreds of millions of dollars and not putting money back in. This is out of hand. "we do it out of our good graces for the American people" yeah and im sure the 174k not counting back room deals has nothing to do with it. 174k is almost 3X more than an average normal American makes, and to do almost nothing. Its disgusting. Its robbery.@@pamelapeterson2987
Nice. So much waste of money from our "Leaders" ????? F these attack artists, put "average" people with morals and values in office for a "Real" view of this country. Money rules everything
Am so with you
We need an audit of all cabinet members in washington and pay by performance
They would all owe the American citizens money if that was indeed the case.
HOw about that applying to all congress members? MTG pretty much does nothing whine and blame.
@@carla2012app sucks when the truth hurts
That's a great idea. We must also raise the bar substantially for performance!
@@luvyesmusici4886 The GOPs who have waste 3 years doing nothing and shouldn't get paid at all! Now it's OMG we have to do something or the gov will be closed again by US GOP's.
Public service is not a feather in the cap.
They say that it is noble and sacrificing to be in the government.
No. It’s about power, inside trading and pensions.
Period!
Butt-d-jerk is a misfit.
He went on a '3 months maternity' leave. we maintained
he and Dept. Of Energy, Granholm are
both should be paid
$1 for the job performance they
achieved.
This guy is only in it for the perks. Doesn't give a hoot about the job itself and how important it is to actually do the job as what it's supposed to be.
$1 is too much for this grifter! Just get rid of him.
All republicans are in it for the money wtf
@@josephohanlon205 You obviously know nothing about what he has accomplished, he has done more than anyone else in the cabinet and certainly more than Maggoty Trailer Green. Unless you want to count getting divorced and having sex with pansexual love gurus accomplishments.
Not this guy. He's entirely absorbed in infrastructure. Bridges and railways and subways and how to shield subways from getting flooded in storms which is so dangerous for cities. I think he's the most knowledgeable guy in the whole gov't. too. He's really something. Everybody should look up all his interviews, and watch them. Then you'd see the difference between him and guys like -- guys like most of the GOP.
NOt a word about "the transgender," "wide-open borders!" "school library porn" and not a word of insults toward GOP politicians. He just wants to get things done.
And he answers all questions, unlike Republicans who are forced to dodge so many, afraid to speak plainly about their "Master," when asked. And NO STUNTS like "we'll show our scorn for the other side by doing this 'stunt' about just paying him a dollar! "Let's call him a Communist too!" Fun, right? Fun for Marjorie. Time wasting for the House tho.
Americans want their leaders to be held to the same standards as we are...If we fail in the private sector we lose our jobs it should be no different in government
Wouldn't that then be done through elections? I mean seriously 😂
Question: how much money is your state getting from Biden's Infrastructure Bill as opposed to Trump's Infrastructure Bill?
@@mvanluven78would changing his salary to one dollar violate the federal minimum wage laws? Is MTG suggesting that the federal government break the law?
Why not? They're breaking the law leaving the border open and proclaiming sanctuary cities. Marxists don't concern themselves with right and wrong.
No Americans want them to be held to a HIGHER standard. There lyes the problem
The gentle woman from Georgia puts 2 cents worth of highest priority intelligence regarding another person. MTG deserves less than two cents pay.
If they were all paid the median average income at the time they were elected or appointed, they all might do a better job.
@phobicismist5858 - And that includes Congress too.
$1 Dollar a Nickels to Much.
And like any other job, they could lose it if they dont do it...
I think they should be paid half the salary of the poorest resident of their district or state. That should be the salary of members of Congress. That way, perhaps they might start trying to elevate their constituents rather than treating them like punching bags, good only to be lied to, and stupid and gullible enough to believe any lie they are told. That is certainly how Maggie Swastika Greene treats everyone around her. Every word from her lips is a lie, and they all just drip with disdain and disregard.
Nobody would take those jobs.
Thanks Sec Buttigieg for your work!
An MTG supports Donald Trump who spent 450 million of taxpayer money going on hundreds of golf trips during his 4 years in the White House, she should introduce a bill to force him to repay that money to the United States Treasury and the United States taxpayers. When Trump was campaigning he complained about Obama playing golf too much and said he wouldn't have time to play golf cuz he'd be in the White House. I guess she just can't believe a word he says. working for America.
TRUMP IS THE ONLY PRESIDENT THAT DID NOT TAKE HIS SALARY, AND DONE MORE FOR THE BLACK PEOPLE THEN ANY PRESIDENT. OBAMA DONE NOTHING FOR THE BLACKS.
I read his golfing trips cost taxpayers "ony" 430 Million $$, but what the hell is the nation thinking, putting gold T sneakers on a pedestallll. what... AGAIN?
Let Russia run amok all over Ukraine? WTF ?
She's special because, unlike most mean girls, there is nothing about her any other woman might envy.
All MTG does is complain about others and does nothing for her district. She takes credit for things that are good for her district that she voted against initially. She's insane
Exactly, Georgia is getting $13 BILLION from the Biden Infrastructure Bill...that money will be repairing over 300 bridges and 2,000 miles of roadways over the next five years that are in poor condition....she voted against it, but now takes credit for that money.
Please don't insult insane people like that.
Why would you continue to pay servant when they do the opposite of what the majority of citizens want? They are a public servant, regardless of position in office.
Look up their donors. See if even one Republican is funded by ordinary people. I think they're all funded by PACS. (rich guys and corporations.) This is not true of Democrats.
Most of Biden's cabinet appointments share common traits with AOC. They bring nothing to the table, except racist ideologies, by dividing our nation into oppressors, and victims only. They fail to realize most all of Americans do not judge each other by the color of our skins or sexual orientation, but by the content of our characters. America does not have a racial/sexual orientation problem. We have smart people who realize this fact. We also have ignorant people who divide themselves by the color of their skins/ sexual orientation, bc people like AOC and failed Mayor Pete tell them they are somehow a victim. Wake up America.
He's only following the squads orders.
the viral video of fraudster-pete having security unload his bicycle 100 yards from House Chamber so people would think he rode bike to work.
@josuaederer7883 same reason why Dunkin’ Donuts cuts you a check every week.
Omg get her out of the government she needs help seriously
America needs to cut payroll for government employees ASAP
I would begin with cutting the salary of Maggie Swastika Greene to zero dollars and zero cents.
No, you should ask Zelenskyy for your salary, he might pay you better. America has money, too much money that they need to give them all away.
Another clueless comment
Ritchie, if you have to edit a comment that is less than 10 words, it tells us all we need to know about you.
@@heinleinreaderMost people who support her are hard-working, self-supporting Americans & that's who she supports. I wonder if you don't support her because you don't fit into that category.
Yeah he sure did call roads “racist”! 🤣😂😆
He’s right. In some cases, they are. Their design can effectively segregate/isolate neighborhoods by keeping people in or out.
He did not call roads racists . Educate yourselves.
Under the Reconnecting Communities program, cities and states can now apply for the federal aid over five years to rectify harm caused by roadways that were built primarily through lower-income, Black communities after the 1950s creation of the interstate highway system.
New projects could include rapid bus transit lines to link disadvantaged neighborhoods to jobs; caps built on top of highways featuring green spaces, bike lanes and pedestrian walkways to allow for safe crossings over the roadways; repurposing former rail lines; and partial removal of highways.

@@yourmomma2995 It's the no.1 card to have when things don't go your way.

Well, the insurrection card didn't work so well for Trump when he didn't get his way.
Drop her salary to $1.00 for all the nothing she has done with her time in office!
She's got the audacity to say that about him but what the hell is she ever done she shouldn't even be getting paid like I said there should be taking the garbage out
She telling the truth, Do you want your tax money to pay pothole pete to go on 16 vacations.
That would be wonderful if they paid all of the cabinets positions 1 dollar. That would mean they were doing there jobs for the people not for a chance of political advancement.
Trump didn't take a salary, so what does that say about him?
@@kermitfrog1897Trump took a salary... He's not that stupid!

Unserious chaos agents...
Hell with that, make her/him pay back every salary cent he has stolen, not earned.
He has not stolen anything. He travels all over the USA to different infra-structure projects. He does have other things he's involved with.
Just show us the proof he stole anything. Every republican politician makes claims about democrats being crooked, yet none of them can come up with any definitive proof to offer the American people. "Show me the proof."
You are a troll. 😂
Right. Same with Trump's golf trips.
Republicans steal their salary every day by doing nothing for the people.
We should cut Marjorie Taylor Greene salary to zero after all in Congress selling cow fertilizer
If you don't do what you are hired to do...why should you be paid anything?
Before I had to retire. If I didn't do the job I was hired for I would not have a job therefore no pay.
If not for Democrats protecting your SSI and Medicare from Republican cuts, you still might be working.
These people couldn't make it in the private sector.
Look at Biden. He's been paid by the taxpayers (& who knows who else) for his entire adult life. It's a travesty!
Damn straight. That's why they are career politicians...the only job where you get paid and promoted for failing to do your job.
Reduce Marjore 's salary to one dollar than lock her up!
She has no problems calling people hypocrites and liars! And that is EXACTLY what she is!

They should do all of them that way until they can get spending under budget!
We should make Trump pay back American taxpayers for the $7.8 trillion in debt that he created. He created more debt in four years than had been created in the previous 200 years total. A full 25% of our current national debt was created under Trump's presidency.
I was in the Army and screwed up a few times got an Article 15 and they took half my pay and made me work 3 times as much. Maybe the government should do the same.
Yes! I AGREE WITH THAT.

Need to do the same to John Kerry and his staff of 40+, Mayorkas, Harris, and Grandholm next.
How bazaar is this dem administration an absolute joke! Bravo as always MTG.

Brilliant! Agree 100%. Should be implemented across the administrations' slack assed appointees.

So, it's a joke that MTG is a racist? Are you against equity in upgrading transportation in poor black neighborhoods and communities that usually don't get the funding that White and financially well off neighborhoods and communities receive through U.S. Grants, funding and tax dollars?

Reduce Taylor-Greene’s salary to a penny. And that penny is only because she does provide some measure of hilariousness by taking herself much more seriously than she should. She’s completely inept.
She's big on performance. Just watch her. It's always a big show with her.
there is no disagreement. We saw Buttigieg on video doing exactly what she said he was doing
And the left media never called him on it. He was recently on Marxist Colberts stupid show and I thought Colbert was going to rub one out during the interview.
He rode a bike and get's a 99.99% paycut. LMAO
So?
He is allowed maternity leave. America is the only country on the planet except one obscure country somewhere on the planet that maternity leave for MEN AND WOMEN is not part of their benefits. You are all so freaking backwards.
Coberts show is so dead on truth about t rump people cant handle it.
Of course after taxes it'll just be 44¢.

What makes you think he pays taxes?
I literally just lost about 100 IQ points listening to Forbe's for 2 minutes. Now I share the same IQ as the Forbes fans and commenters on this page.
What is going on with Forbes, really???dumbing down on narrative for the ignorant???
And yet you still made a comment 😂
Yes in agreement to a post. 🤡
😢😮 so sad that this is politics today so many people suffering,hurting, and this is what they vote on!
I would agree if I didn't think he should be thrown in prison instead.
Some roads are black, some roads are brown and some roads are grey/whiteish. Which ones are the racist ones exactly Pete?
🤣🤣🤣 ❤!
what a waste of money and time. This solves nothing and it never moves forward. Once again, they have no plan other than chaos.
This is the second time i have seen mtg do this within 10 minutes. One was passed but put to a voice vote. They never showed the actual vote. This one didn't show even the voice vote. No one person should be able to drop someone's wage to a dollar!
Love it. You get what you deserve.
Sounds like a good idea to me!
As a rural Anerican, I love my dirt roads.
You should petition your state to give back all of the money they are taking from Biden's Infrastructure Bill then.
That only proves that you like living in a muddy swamp because that’s what the roads would become on a rainy day.

Give Buttigieg a raise when you kick MTG out of Congress
Sick who sees racism in the construction of roads. Enough of this nonsense 😢😢😢
I second that @MTG 🙏❤️🇺🇸💎😊
Getting called out on wasting taxpayer money on stupid things is not just a "disagreement" and you should be financially penalized for it.
Considering we are and we didn't make the decision. It's called accountability.
Damn this woman is a BAD JOKE! VOTE HER OUT‼️ She is wasting our taxpayer dollars!
All she’s doing is everything she can to get attention by fanning “them vs us” discord!”
Just do your job. That is all we want!
Hell yes Pete stop spend taxpayer money on 16 vacation.
If they do not do there job they should be Fired, Buttigieg has failed the people of America
She said they need to disqualify him if anyone needs to be disqualified months ago. She is only there to put on a show totally unqualified
All dems should get a $1.. boarder economy energy police woke and foreign policies...they have done enough..vote them out

The representative standing in opposition wants us to understand that it's acceptable and should be expected by the American tax payor, that we pay for the expenses for an appointed employee to travel to another country to receive an award that has absolutely nothing to do with his role within our government. And if we don't readily agree to this, than it's an affront to him regarding his sexual orientation. It's absolute b.s.
