That’s mighty white of her. She is very good at spending money she did not earn.

Mighty generous she is.. with other people’s money.
An old joke:
Judge: I am awarding your wife $1,500 a month in alimony.
Defendant: That’s mighty nice of you, Judge. I’ll try and send her a few dollars, myself.

It didn’t take the Puerto Rican princess/barmaid long to become an official Swamp weasel. She has access to other people’s money now. Making herself and her friends rich.

Don’t you know, she’s in charge now. If you don’t believe it, just ask her. What a bunch of idiots that elected her to go to Washington.

Her real staff is not the one with her at Capitol Hill. Her real staff is over at the HQ of the Democratic Socialists of America.

It is the DSA that is guiding, directing, and doing all the research and speech writing for AOC.

AOC is a hired gun. And so far, she is doing exactly as she is told...and doing it well.

She has the maximum number of staffers that can be budgeted for, 18. If she had only hired 15 she could have given everyone at least a $10,000/year pay raise (3 x $52K). I’m guessing a socialist representative of the proletariat needs Dog Walker #1, Dog Walker #2, etc. but nevertheless 18 staffers seems like a lot.

What’s she paying her ball-less soy boy shack-up “partner”?

He’s “staff,” you know.

I’m sure that since she’s going to pay basically half the going wage the top talent will be climbing walls to go to work for her. ‘Course her public relations folks already proving how well that’s working out for her. She should be able to get top billing on the comedy circuit.

So she's taking salary away from some workers and adding it to the salaries of other workers?

Is she still pocketing her full $174k?

There was another thread on this. And that article mentioned that some of her staffers may have to take a pay cut.

In other words, she may be cutting pay for some staffers in order to give raises to other staffers.

She’s taking the budget given to her for her staff and redistributing it.

Could be the $52K has a lot to do with AOC putting her boyfriend on her staff.
Maybe family, too. The half-baked socialist is a whiz at spending other people's money.

That's her mother holding the Bible.....boyfriend is grinning tall guy on right with the beard.

She just got caught putting her live-in boyfriend on the Congressional payroll.....
and the buzz is he's got top level security clearance over OUR SAFETY and SECURITY.

FACTS ON FILE
<><> Absent a waiver from House Ethics, family members have to be volunteers to get official house.gov email addresses,
<><> AOC’s office apparently doesn’t believe in having unpaid workers; according to her COS they have no volunteers in the office.
<><> So AOC's boyfriend Roberts is designated as staff but she says also isn’t on her staff,
<><> even though boyfriend showed up Friday morning in the House directory as processing into her "personal office" as "a staffer."

===============================

Taxpayers demand to see all of AOC's financial records as a member of Congress....outlays WE paid for.
We need to see AOC's correspondence, emails, snail mails, hard drives, wire-transfers, text files, offshore banking activity, and the like.

ACTION—Demand to see govt reports of all tax dollars outlaid to AOC, and everyone employed in her office.......including her boyfriend and family members.

ACTION--DEMAND CONGRESS SEND YOU ALL AVAILABLE GOVT INFORMATION specifically govt vouchers submitted by AOC:
<><> credit cards,
<><> gift cards,
<><> cell phone/landline bills,
<><> electronic/wire transfers,
<><> detailed expense accounts,
<><> transportation expenses
<><> office expenses
<><> office equipment expenses
<><> office supplies,
<><> unusual stamp purchases (a classic govt corruption MO)
<><> housing allotments,
<><> clothing allotments,
<><> entertainment
<><> household help,
<><>reimbursements for varied ancillary interests.

==================================

ACTION-—TAXPAYERS DEMAND TO KNOW WHO IN THE AOC PERSONAL AND GOVT CIRCLE IS CASHING GOVT PAYCHECKS, WHO HAS APPLIED FOR GOVT PENSIONS, AND WHO SHE MIGHT HAVE PLACED ON THE GOVT PAYROLL.It’s an old trick politicians use-—hand-picking people and putting them on several govt payrolls. (Long after you think they’re gone, they’re still cashing in).These maneuvers leave a huge paper trail.

Her top staffers will get no show second jobs for leftist organizations to supplement their pay.

It’s not any money that SHE earned, so she doesn’t give a $hit.

If she believed in real financial equality, she’d reduce her salary to match that of her aides.

That’s a bit more than $15 per hour. Isn’t that unfair to the unpaid interns? If she really want’s fairness, everyone on her staff, should get a flat $15 per hour (AKA a “living wage”). Oh yeah, she’s a socialist.
