I know this is going to shock and amaze you.
Nothing like this has EVER happened before.
The House of Representatives has voted 235-170 to give itself a pay raise as part of a Transportation and Treasury Department spending bill.
And get this ... this is even more unheard of they rejected a member's procedural attempt to vote on the pay raise separate from the rest of the bill.
It's good to know that we won't have members of Congress on food stamps.
I just don't know how they can get by on a measley $158,100 a year.
