Original Note:
The post states that Congress would get a 40% pay increase. That is incorrect. Per the Congressional Research Service, the maximum potential increase in January would be 3.8%, providing a salary of $180,600, up by $6,600, according to CRS. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/bill-to-prevent-government-shutdown-includes-raise-for-congress-itsthe-first-pay-hike-in-16-years-4c06b8e7 https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2024/12/18/congress/congress-pay-raise-increase-00195089
