That's the dirty little secret. They don't just get their salary. They get housing allowances, travel expenses, meals, re-imbursement for all kinds of things that WE pay out of our salaries. If I didn't have to worry about food, clothing, transportation, entertainment and housing myself, I could live very comfortably on 174K/yr.
The boo-hooing about how low the salaries are makes me wonder how often congresspeople start out from modest backgrounds, but somehow are millionaires when they retire or are voted out.
