Continuing Resolution (Democrat Omnibus) killed. The People are Winning. Individual Item Votes Coming?

I'd honestly be okay with the raise if they simultaneously banned stock trading while in congress. $174K/yr does seem low for that job. But we all know they get in it for the kickbacks, insider trading, influence peddling and other financial benefits that aren't in the best interest of the US.
Exactly. A raise is probably fine in and of itself, but sneaking it in an omnibus bill that is supposed to be a “continuing resolution”, especially after the people just voted for Doge was a slap in the face to the people.
 
Thanks MAGA billionaire assholes!

Dow plunges more than 1,100 points and marked its longest losing streak since 1974​

Meh, the dow dropped because the fed announced they weren’t going to cut interest rates in 2025 as much as they had previously said they would.

IMO this is a good thing. I have concerns that Trump will come in and try to pressure the fed to go to 0 just to artificially inflate the stock market. Hopefully its a sign that we’ll continue to stave off higher rates of inflation as the economy continues to grow, even in the face of potential new tariffs.

Dow will recover.

This is true and the specific reason they announced they would only cut rates twice is because of their concern about Trump's tariff plan and it's effect on inflation. Then the government shutdown concern just added to the plunge.

No it had nothing to do with tariffs
 
And let’s not forget the fed cut rate a half point in September just before the election.

And now they want to slow down.

Jerome - you’re fired!
