Who is forced to live outside the Capitol? Oh, is he actually talking about the homeless?? I thought he was suggesting that some House members are forced to live outside the Capitol, in DC. My bad.
No, it's fair because they all have the same opportunity.
Traffic in DC is horrible, so the ones sleeping in their office save a lot of travel time, and are there early to begin day! Democrats are just finding another way to cause trouble.
There is very little reasonably priced food in DC, and I think there is a cafeteria for Senate?? These people live in their election districts, and to keep an Apt in DC is money wasted, it is very expensive. The lights etc are on all night in those government offices, the cleaning people come either way, so maybe water and some extra trash. There are gym showers, so I don’t see it a problem. Offices do not open til maybe 8:30-9 am....
Actually those Capital Offices are guarded, and safe. If they are messy, then they should be made to move.
The CBC’s motives are untrustworthy.
So either they force everyone to pay high rent elsewhere, or give everyone else a salary increase.
I wonder what their feelings would be if it was a primarily democrat practice
Close the Dept. of Education and set aside a room or two in one of that building. Put some bona fide US Army bunks in those rooms for the Congresscritters. Problem solved.
Yes they should do this.
Provide a dormitory for members of Congress. Of course if they do not want to live there they can rent or buy other housing in Washington.
Paul Ryan and the others should not be living in their offices.
That's not a bad idea. There should be an area like that at the new Visitors Center at Capitol Hill. One room with bunk beds for the guys and the another room for the ladies.
If they put a Fridge in to hide their stash in the freezer can they stay?....
I doubt we will see any one of them solve Korman’s enigma, anytime soon. 😀
OMG!!!! That’s how you try to come across as “relevant”?? They’re kidding, right? No, I guess not.
I feel sorry for “Blacks” all over the country that that bunch calls themselves the Congressional Black Caucus; it’s almost libelous - defaming - toward their “race”.
Why the outcry about this at this point in time?
Its not like they are throwing parties there. Its not like they are submitting forms for rental reimbursment. I doubt its creating any more work for cleaning staff to deal with than doing their regular office cleaning.
Gotta be a cbc member to get free sh1t.
Whitey pays for the blacks free sh1t, whitey doesnt get free sh1t.
The whole argument is a fallacy anyway.
Idiotic....
I couldn’t care less...
Talk about unsanitary.
Who are they sleeping with in their offices?
Sounds like it saves the taxpayers by not having to pay for the extra security personnel and vehicles to go to and from every day.
Ryan, by virtue of his office, would probably merit a small motorcade wherever he goes.
You can bet Nancy gets one
