Pelosi's parting shot at raising the national debt
Was to increase House staff salaries to the highest yet
Staffers now start out at a minimum of 45 grand
And the staff pay ceiling is now $212,000, 38 grand higher than the elected
Reps in this land
Her rationale was to prevent "qualified" staff from leaving to the
private sector
Doubt it will work for staff who want to K street vector
Become a lobbyist and massive dollars rake in
While mere mortals with issues lose and lobbyists' clients win
Only question is whether McCarthy reduces the minimum and the ceiling
Token lip service to frugality after $1.7 trillion bill House passes that has
us reeling© 12/30/2022 Michael P. Ridley aka The Alaskanpoet
