Roger Wicker - Not telling us the truth about his pay increases in Congress

by: NoThirdBushTerm

Roger Wicker has a money problem - involving his own pay. He has said that he has never voted for a pay increase, but the facts are not on his side.

The fact is, he has voted for increases his own pay multiple times, even supporting a guaranteed cost of living adjustment to insure his pay kept up with inflation. The number of times he voted for increases is NINE times.

Wouldn't that be nice if we could all have cost of living adjustments built into our salaries?

Wouldn't it be nice if we had a representative in Congress that not only told the truth about their pay, but took the needs of the constituents ahead of voting themselves pay increases?
