Article today in the NY Times about the net worth of members of Congress- related to our discussion yesterday.
But behind the “no budget, no pay” proposal, which the House passed when it voted to temporarily extend the debt limit last week, is also a basic reality: many of those who support the concept are so wealthy that their Congressional paychecks are little more than a rounding error. The Senate may pass the measure as early as Wednesday.
This blog serves my Congress course (Claremont McKenna College Government 101) for the spring of 2024.
