Trump backs GOP plan amid shutdown threat

[@josemunoz3447]

Absolutely they do not need a raise, they make a lot more than regular Americans, and their benefits are much much better as well!!! Don't mix any pay increases with other bills.

[@cathyw1019]

No they don't need a pay raise

[@MRick-cd1kr]

Shut it down if the news does not cover it nobody who works for a living would know

[@altheablais2336]

Make separate bills for each item

[@seashells5181]

Boo Hoo. They get reimbursed. More than we the people get!,, No sympathy from me

[@starscythe2099]

Yeah. That’s heartless.

[@GlennWebster-ut2xx]

Shut it down or come up with a better plan.... End of story

[@patrickm6012]

What is your idea of a better plan? Would you be willing to lose your job for it?

[@GlennWebster-ut2xx]

@patrickm6012 the better plan,for one does not include millions in pay raises for government officials.

[@matthewatwood8641]

Don't tell us about all of the terrible things that are gonna happen if the bill doesn't pass fix the fn bill. No pay raise. No pork. The stuff that's needed and that's it. Otherwise it's on you.

[@wastingtime6417]

They just elected the people that run the swamp so that's not happening.
