This new reimbursement system reeks of corruption. What was the rationale for initiating it last year?

maybe because of the cut backs in the congressional sexual harrassment slush fund?

got to take up the slack from somewhere?

Why does the Post only list the highest, while ignoring the entire House spending on the reimbursement program? There must be a reason for this. I suspect that there are many Democrats who are very close to the leader, and are perhaps even having their expenses being hidden, so as to point to a Republican, which apparently gives you great satisfaction. Because it sure isn't because the Democrats are not taking advantage of this program as well.

While I do not know the answer to your question, it probably has something to be with Reps taking up residence within their Capitol Office. Living costs in The D.C. Metropolitan area has exploded.

In the area many Reps in their districts live have also most likely exploded in price.

But the fact that you claim this is corruption, leads me to wonder who you really are and what you support, because you always seem to post these types of articles that are negative to Trump, or they mention someone associated with the Freedom caucus, negatively. While Jack Bergman is not a member of that caucus, Matt Gaetz certainly is.

The home my parents had in Canterbury Woods in Fairfax Va. was purchased for 25K in the early 60s, the median listing home price is now $749,000. My first apt. cost 200.00 a month, utilities included for a 2 bedroom 2 bath apt. 100 dollars for each of us. That was a lot for us in our late teens.

I thought they can’t increase their pay until a new Congress is seated or something? I was wrong (?) as Courts have ruled 27th Amendment does not pertain to cost of living changes https://www.reaganlibrary.gov/constitutional-amendments-amendment-27-financial-compensation-congress#:~:text=Amendment%20Twenty%2Dseven%20to%20the,until%20the%20next%20election%20concludes.
