Pelosi Raises Salary Cap For House Staffers to $212,100 as Bidenflation Hurts American Families

Speaker Pelosi on Friday announced House staffers can earn up to $212,100 salary.

“As you know, our hard-working, patriotic Congressional staffers are integral to the functioning of the House of Representatives: ensuring this institution can effectively carry out our legislative and constituent responsibilities,” Pelosi said in a letter.

“To that end, we must do all we can to retain and recruit the best talent in our nation — and to build a Congressional workforce that reflects the communities we are honored to serve,” she added.

Last year Pelosi raised the salary cap for top staffers from $173,900 to $199,300 to help recruit top talent.

These are the same government workers who were gainfully employed during the Covid lockdowns while Democrat tyrants forcefully shut down private sector businesses.

Meanwhile inflation and high gas prices are hurting American families.

High interest rates have led to a housing downturn.

Home sales in the US are a disaster.

Biden’s economy is a total mess.

Inflation is at 40-year highs. The markets are down significantly since last year. Interest rates are double what they were last year.

The National Association of Realtors released its November Home Sales Statistics report.

Home sales are down 35% from last year. More than a third of last year’s sales are gone.

Must be nice to be a House staffer with a $212,100 salary and no fear of being forced out due to Covid policies.
