Der führende Kongress der Republikaner gewährt sich stillschweigend eine Gehaltserhöhung und eine Befreiung von Obamacare

SS: In a new spending deal passed by Congress, lawmakers quietly approved two provisions that could raise some eyebrows: a pay raise for themselves and an exemption from the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) requirement.

First, the deal includes a cost-of-living pay raise for members of Congress, marking the first such increase since 2009. This change comes after a long period in which lawmakers were barred from receiving pay raises due to the 2008 financial crisis. While some argue the increase is necessary to keep pace with inflation, others see it as politically risky, especially with Congress already being one of the most unpopular institutions in the U.S.

The second provision allows members of Congress to opt out of the Affordable Care Act’s requirement that they use health insurance exchanges set up under the law,

Oh fuck that exemption shit! Everyone pushing for universal healthcare needs to answer why it’s not good enough for high ranking government workers!? Are people seriously that stupid?

Well when billionaires decide who runs and your options are those big mean republicans bullies or those wimpy victim dems…

And it’s all fake. They will never secure the boarder, they will never give us healthcare, they will never let us be free. Oh because the other side is always stopping them.

My gf who is very much into history looked at me about 2 years ago and said “at this point it won’t matter if Kamala wins or Trump. The next admin is going after our right to free speech and our right to peacefully assemble”

Meanwhile they all make millions.

We need use our first and second amendment quickly. They both are eradicating rights as fast as possible. And not social issues. (Well actually the republicans handle social issue rights because they are just SOOO mean, and the democrats handle your constitutional rights, publicly I mean. In the background they are friends and it’s planned)
