Nothing is too good for Debbie and her staff
= = = = = = = = = = = = =
I had suggested a couple of years ago pay the Cong/Senators 2, 3 5 (pick a number) Million and let them pay for their own staff, extra quarters, transportation, basically ‘we’ just pay for their offices and basic security.

If they want to hire their wife, mother, son, daughter, grandfather etc etc, fine — but you get your yearly payment 1st day of the session and budget yourself till the next year OR do without.

You would find fewer ‘staffers’, less vacations, of course the fancy rentals, 5 star restaurants and hotels they now frequent will be complaining but............

Anything left over at the end of the year is theirs.

The transport and per diem costs for traveling Congress critters and their bloated staffs is where the money is. If you limited each politician to $1 million per year to pay for everything, there wouldn't be anything left outside staff salaries to do anything else. Awwww, the poor, poor babies! [Nothing would preclude these "public servants" from paying their own money for upgrades.]

Oh, yes, if these august personages need to travel, they can do it commercially and get fondled by the TSA goons. If not, they can fly space available in a military C-5, C-17, or C-130. [Can you imagine Debbie Wasserman-Schultz’ fat behind taking up two troop seats on a C-130? Or, Nancy Pelosi wolfing down a military “box lunch” with no champagne or caviar? The horror! The horror!!]
