Why would members of congress need a raise? They're already very well paid by lobbiests, plus they profit massively from their insider trades. They really dont need any salary at all to continue becoming increasingly and ridiculously wealthy
I’m a democrat and I agree with Trump and Vance on this. There is definitely some ridiculous pork in this spending bill. And how dare they give themselves raises when people are hurting so badly from this terrible inflation, food pantries are struggling to feed everyone that needs help, veteran support groups are running out of money to help vets. And these clowns want to give themselves raises.
This congress has been shut for the last four years, but they do work to get a high pay check. Trump does not need the swamp... the more there are the less they do.
As a retired DoD civilian, I experienced multiple shut downs. The non-essential workers loved the time off and were ALWAYS paid retroactively. Unfortunately I was always essential and did not enjoy the perk. 🥴
the problem is that most of the mouth breathers on here are chanting 'shut it down' because they actually think that will prevent spending. We live in the days of facebook-meme-mentality
Shut it down! It's ALWAYS the same story! "We MUST pass a horrible bad bill because we have purposely waited until the last minute, and now it's a crisis. Sick of it, SHUT IT DOWN!!!
Republicans are responsible for the delays--for the last 50 years! BS from the Right is getting too stale and requires a citizen response, one most serious.
Super weird for someone with a Jesus picture to be advocating for making hundreds of thousands of federal employees work unpaid for the month of December.
Billionaires Trump, Musk, and Bezos had dinner together this week and then turned around to block paychecks and services for Americans by blocking the spending bill. You look at that and your problem is congresse’s access to money and power?
Shut it down! No pay for politicians. We do not have money to spend! Stop adding things in bills that do not help the situation or Americans directly. Bills should be no more than 10 pages.
@moldycat4852 DEMOCRAT...Not a compliment. Your party tried to destroy the Republic with unconstitutional unprecedented lawfare. BidenHarris were traitors.
So they can spend the entire year on this? This actually used to be a very simple process. You know, back when unelected billionaires weren’t playing president.
I hope it does. How does the govt keep getting away with spending money Americans don’t have. If we did this we would loose our home and everything we have
What do you mean struggling to find a solution? The solution is take all that extra crap out that's not necessary for a simple Bill to keep the government going. This reporter is pathetic!
government needs big budget cuts. $38,000,000,000,000.00 in the hole. These politicians refuse to cut a penny. Shut it down till they put forward a real budget.
so trump was in office once before and he was the fastest debt spending president we've ever had: adding 8.2 TRILLION to the debt during a supposedly "amazing economy" Why do you think he's going to suddenly cut back now?
Like bridge repairs and disaster relief for red states? Musk is spreading lies about the government buying a stadium in DC so hopefully that’s not what you mean.
I feel like that scene on Chappelle’s show Making the Band 2 when Diddy issues a challenge and they just roll their eyes at him. Stop threatening and just do it already, you pathetic old people.
Everybody please give your life to Jesus today don't wait for later for sometimes later becomes never so begin reading the bible today and a great place to start is in Psalms of the bible read a chapter in Psalms everyday and after you finish reading Psalms read in Proverbs
DON'T PAY THEM IF THEY CAN'T COME TO AN AGREEMENT. THEY DON'T DESERVE TO BE PAID EITHER . THEY SHOULD ALL HAVE THEIR PAY DOCKED 100.00 A DAY FOR EVERY DAY IT'S SHUT DOWN . EACH ONE .
Musk and Trump complain about the spending bill being too high, but have no problem with huge tax cuts for the rich. That isn't to say that some extra spending on the bill shouldn't be cut.
Toss everything that’s in that bill, go media do your job, it shouldn’t take somebody like Elon to give us a heads up. This is what you guys are supposed to do.
Oh boy The drama season came just in time for the holidays - can't wait for the horror movies and the thrillers - all loaded with terror action and suspense
And when the Democrats just handed out $1.4 billion on Thursday to specialty groups of green new deal or whatever and we don’t have enough money to fund FEMA for American citizens that I’ve been suffering for three months no shut down the government no more I’m done is an American citizen. It has to stop now.
can you show me a legitimate source that says FEMA is unfunded? In fact, last time it came to a vote, Democrats uniformly voted to fund FEMA and a hundred and fifty some republicans voted NOT to fund it. ...From florida alone Republican Reps.

They want a 40% raise. Didnt everybody get one?
@jerrymoore838 They want a raise because they know the next 4 yrs they won’t be able to steal millions of tax dollars anymore

They can have a raise when the National deficit is down to $0.
That deficit is only going to skyrocket under trump. Probably best not to give them a raise.
Yes

Ya! Trump and Musk get their pay raises the old fashioned way, through corporate tax cuts and obvious crypto grifts.
I hope it does. How does the govt keep getting away with spending money Americans don’t have. If we did this we would loose our home and everything we have
Which president added debt faster than any other in American history? Do you know?
Quit pushing for pay raises where they're not earned
literally let them close shop for awhile. i highly doubt they will all refuse to show up for work the next day

The solution is to STOP the deficit spending! NOW! Sign a clean CR for 60 days! Then cut cut cut!

There going to blame everything on the Trump administration even the baby oil shortage 😅 Diddler this would be you and all your degenerate heathens
Because billionaire president Musk is the one who just told Republicans to block the bill.
