nov 2 2023 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 .

"Democrats quietly tucked a provision into internal House rules that grants lawmakers access to an optional $34,000 annual subsidy to pay for their Washington, D.C., housing and meal expenses," the report explained.

So far, 113 Democrats and 104 Republicans have taken at least some cash, costing taxpayers a combined $1.4 million. Just for the first half of 2023.

Congressional rules allow lawmakers to expense up to $258 a day in lodging and $79 per day in meals – without having to submit receipts.

I remember back to the Good Old Days when ideas and plans were brought to the people so that we could have our say before anything was done.

Man, those days are sure over, our Overlords dont give a flying fuck what we think.

Buckle Up.

This is why govt has to be kept small. No matter who you put in congress, they will either be a crook or soon turn into one. Judges are just as bad. All govt officials want more money and to hell with america.
