The House of Representatives voted yesterday to give themselves a cost-of-living raise. Congratulations, lawmakers![...]
This makes the eighth time Congress has voted to increase its own pay since 1997; they, however, have voted down every attempt to give minimum wage earners a cost of living raise since 1997. Today, the real value of the minimum wage is $3.50 below what it was in 1968.
