The subject has even been debated in the halls of Congress, where many of our elected officials have openly discussed their own financial pinch. So, the Members of Congress did something about inflation. What they did will not help to alleviate the problem, however. In fact, it will make the problem worse for everybody. For what these men, who are directly responsible for inflation, had the nerve to do was vote themselves a pay raise! ng near-recor- Attempts To Block The Measure tried to block this Sen.

If he would bring that alternative before Congress for a vote, millions of Americans would enthusiastically support both it and those Members of Congress who voted for it.
