I didn't know that the Mockingjay trilogy was so predictive, yet here we are.
As part of the $1.5 trillion omnibus spending bill released Wednesday, the $5.9 billion fiscal 2022 Legislative Branch funding portion would substantially boost the office budgets of House members to pay staff more and seeks to enable the Capitol Police department to hire more officers.
The bill marks a $625 million, or 11.8 percent, increase over the fiscal 2021 funding level. Low pay and high turnover have plagued workers on Capitol Hill for years, a shared sentiment that has led to a growing movement by some staffers to unionize.
Did YOU get an 11.8% pay raise? I didn't. And we get to deal with 7.9% inflation. (Ha! HA! HAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA! 7.9%! I wish!)
The corrupt oligarchs ruling this country are riding it into the ground like Slim Pickings on a bomb, and they're doing it deliberately. They're gonna get theirs while the getting is good. And the rest of us are getting fucked.
I agree. At this point it is nothing more than looting going on. All of these pork barrel earmarks direct money to companies, nonprofits and entities that funnel a large share of the money back in some form or fashion to the politicians.
