The American public is tired of the lies coming from Congress and cynical about their ability to lead the nation and whether they truly represent the people. Occasionally, a congressman will come along and inspire the nation with an idea or a proposal that resonates and suggests that our representatives actually do care about our well being.
Iowa Republican Representative Rod Blum introduced legislation Friday that seems to be that type of proposal, though there are many who will feel it is just for show and will never come to an actual vote. Nevertheless, it is worth considering and following, because it could set a standard for future debate in coming years.
See Rep. Rod Blum’s proposed legislation on page 2:
I think that $15/hr aminimum wage they seem to like for the little people would be appropriate.
Like the rest of us USA citizens….they should be paid based on performance! Accountability, job performance…..the stuff we working Americans deal with everyday!! They ALL need to be fired and get common people in there. This “elite” socialistic c**p has to go!! Elite….screw ’em.
That will happen like a cold day in Hell
They got back pay.
Let’s see if they pass it.
That would be great. They get to many perks and the salary they have voted for themselves should be the first.
if it passes it will be like their disclosure law, after making a big deal out of its passing it will quietly be rescinded. Only solution is to vote all incumbents out and replace them with conservatives that know if they fail to pass term limits and disclosure laws they will join the ex representatives and senators
I can see them passing this one lol, they’ll probably end up with a raise instead
start with the president and make him pay for all of his vacation bills
Best Congress money can buy.
