Original Note:
The pay increase for congress is 3.8%, not 40%, resulting in an increase of $6,600 and a salary of $180,600. The number $243,000 comes from an estimate of what congress members would have been paid had they received every adjustment provided by the ECI formula since 1992. https://www.factcheck.org/2024/12/congress-not-proposing-to-give-themselves-40-raise/ https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/RS/97-1011
