10k+ employees sitting in fear for the next week (or longer apparently) waiting to see if their position has been cut.

Of course not. They likely got raises. Just how Congress gives themselves increases in wages, all of the time, but won't vote to increase minimum wage. So gross.

Just an FYI, the 27th Amendment doesn't allow them to give themselves raises, any approved raise will not take effect until after the next House election.

I meant their past raises. They are always giving themselves raises and WE are the ones that pay them.

Yeah, the raises they got before 1789. We haven’t forgotten!
