    Huge fan of this bill. Even people who are opposed to large government spending should see that something like this was absolutely necessary. Especially when you see what kind of packages other countries have been getting.

    It takes a special kind of stupid to think women “pop out babies” for money. Not surprising coming from you. Anyways...

    Hard to understand how big of a loser Space Monkey is... it's like trying to conceive the vastness of the universe and the billions of galaxies with trillions of stars and the googlplex of light years in between them.

    When I wanted Studioleaks to think I was a raving obsessed lunatic... I trolled koolo into believing I was space monkey.

    You keep trying to act like we don’t know who you are. You spent years on here boot-licking Trump & posting holocaust denial conspiracies while accusing posters of being secret Jews. Sad existence of a human being. I’m sure it took all your little will power to show face in here.

    Just to be very clear, you agree that:

    1) Russia invaded Ukraine with the intention of overthrowing their government & instituting a puppet government
    2) European + U.S. military aid has been key toward Ukraine being able to thwart off the Russian invasion

    Without 2, 1 happens certainly which is *bad.*

    Interesting. Like I said, I'm willing to try it if the data is there, though I'm not 100% convinced it will work because there's so many factors that go into it that are hard to predict via a study. However I'd be pretty heated if they approved better pay for people making six digits before raising the federal min wage to...two digits.

    Also this sounds like it's specifically talking about attracting more moderate candidates—which I understand can make it easier to compromise and all, but I'm not convinced voting in more Joe Manchins will be all that helpful in getting anything remotely progressive done. I could be wrong though!

    You really think paying people more than 175k annually will just make the people better and do better work? - when there are multiple studies saying money can bring you happiness but it caps out at around 75k-90k annually and anymore after that your happiness is dependant on living circumstances, relationships and your work/life balance.

    Doubt raising some drones salary from 175k a year to 200k a year will make the disparaged, 30k-40k income per year, almost poverty living people will go "oh f--- yes, congress raised pay, gonna be a political figure now!" Laughing out loud lol. The people who have less than 50k per year for example, 99.99% of those people don't give a s--- about politics enough to even keep up with it or watch/read news. They wouldn't know about the pay rise until congress members are at 1 million a year and someone makes a meme of it on social media.

    Nope! A lot of research has shown that paying congress members more would lead to a larger more diverse pool of people willing to run for Congress & likely a more representative & responsive government. Congress member pay (once adjusted for inflation) has been on the decline since the 1960s. Congress members, due to their job, have really high life expenses. Often having to rent and/or buy homes in two different regions (DC is one of the most expensive housing markets in the country); traveling costs; family costs especially if they have kids etc. not to mention, most Congresspeople are middle aged individuals with prior private sector experience. They’re taking a significant pay cut to be a member of Congress & paying them more is key to not only retaining them & widening the pool of candidates but dissuading them from pursuing other forms of income like insider trading.

    $174K isn't really that much... I've made that in a year and I have 1 year of college and I didn't get a bunch of people to vote for me... I just put in about 3,500 hours of hard work... I'd be down to give them more if they outlawed the egregious kickbacks to the point where corupt congresspeople went to jail and shared cells with dirty CEOs and they new that the people were paying them and not billionaires.
