Looks like House Democrats, especially Stimpy Steny Hoyer don’t think that getting paid $174,000 per year isn’t enough to live on. Stimpy and the Democrats want to increase their salary for “cost of living” increases. Can you believe the nerve of these fuckers? Hey Stimpy, you jerkoffs need a pay cut, not a pay raise.

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) is calling for a cost-of-living adjustment to lawmaker salaries, which have remained stagnant for a decade — but it’s likely to be a tough sell.
In remarks before the Select Committee on the Modernization of Congress this week, Hoyer said that “it is time to address the issue of member and staff pay and benefits.”
“Americans ought to have our nation’s diversity of economic backgrounds better reflected in this House,” he added.
The House voted to create the select committee at the start of the new Congress in January to come up with recommendations for modernizing the legislative branch by the end of the year. The panel has been specifically tasked with developing recommendations on a variety of issues, including the congressional schedule, procedures, technology, and staff retention and compensation.
Members of Congress have had their salaries frozen for a decade, after last receiving a pay adjustment in January 2009.
