Despite low approval ratings and hard feelings from last year’s elections, Democrats and Republicans in the House are reaching out for an approximately $4,400 pay raise that would increase their salaries to almost $170,000.

As part of an ethics bill in 1989, Congress gave up its ability to accept pay for speeches and made annual cost-of-living pay increases automatic unless the lawmakers voted otherwise.

I wonder what Ron Paul’s position is on this? Keeping up with inflation  wouldn’t be a pay increase really. I’m not sure (and am too lazy ATM to look up) of what the formula is they use.
