We definitely need to drain the swamp. Looks like Pelosi had a field day. Does
raising the salary of House members really provide relief to the nemployed?

Which angle?
I’m watching it and not sure what you mean.
is this just for the representatives themselves or is it for staff, additional employees as well? as opposed to a salary increase--

WTF difference does it make? It's supposed to be a Covid-19 bill. Who does
someone know at Howard University? Does student loan bailouts help the Covid-19
issue?

What bull****.

The "raise" was actually in the congressional personal expense
accounts that they get to spend like their own money and it is not
even taxable.
It is buried down in index "I" of H.R.133. That section is about 100
pages long with all sorts of money getting thrown around the capitol
building.
