Bidenflation apparently isn’t a worry to many members of Congress who are taking advantage of a $34,000 “pay raise” that they voted for themselves through an internal rule change that avoided the political backlash of openly allocating themselves more money, according to a new report.
It is the Washington Free Beacon (https://freebeacon.com/democrats/your-tax-dollars-pay-for-millionaire-democrats-swanky-d-c-apartments/) that noted taxpayers now “are funding luxury housing accommodations for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, D-N.Y., and over 200 other members of Congress, many of whom boast net worths over $1 million.”

Congressional pay needs to be (a) voted on by citizens, and (b) tied to the annual budget. If there is a deficit, then congressional pay is zero until resolved.

Good luck getting such a law passed by the very entity to which it applies!

This our our problem in a nutshell. How to resolve it? It’s like putting criminals in charge of law enforcement, or kids in charge of classroom discipline. The founding fathers knew that individuals in government had to be moral and ethical for it all to work.

This is why the founders put the Convention of States in the constitution.
