Not surprising that congress would rather continue to get paid nearly $200K/year- Speaker of the House makes $223,000 a year! I don't think they'd take a pay cut to help fix our economic situation.
A cost-of-living-adjustment (COLA) increase takes effect annually unless Congress votes to not accept it.
Congress has never voted against the COLA increase.
