Congress just got their $4,700 pay raise, which brings the annual salary of rank-and-file representatives and senators to $174,000.
They didn't vote on it, as they changed the law in 1989 so they get automatic pay raises.

I was under the impression that when Obama took office on January 20th, the first order of business was to freeze the government salaries...was I hearing that wrong?
He froze the salaries of 100 White House employees who make $100,000 or more.
