Outgoing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., issued a directive in her final day of controlling the speaker gavel on Friday, boosting the maximum pay rate for House staffers to $212,000.
The move might have raised some eyebrows, citing two disparate reasons:
- This marks the second time in 2022 that Pelosi has authorized a substantial pay bump for senior House staffers. The previous boost from May involved a max-salary increase from $199,300 to $203,700.
- The maximum rate of pay for an actual member of the House or Senate, regardless of party affiliation, is $174,000 — a salary that has remained static since 2009.
In other words, a senior boss within the prestigious U.S. House of Representatives could theoretically make less money than an underling.
According to Fox News, there are no official House rules governing staffer pay, within the minimum-maximum parameters. Consequently, House officers are free to negotiate staff pay on a case-by-case basis. more here

“theoretically make less money”
Without including the bottomless pit of personal expense accounts the congress has.
How about publishing the amount each member spends, outside their standard wages.

I see what you did there.
“…there are no official House rules governing staffer pay…”
Of course not. Also no federal law. Why? Because many, if not most, Congress members hire their own relatives and friends as staffers.
What are the rules regarding political contributions by staffers? How much of that will get recirculated back to the uniparty?
Gotta keep em from talking somehow…
How many of the 87,000 IRA/Gestapo agents have they hired?
