They deserve no perks and should have to actually live in their districts.

Most of them are flat out greedy power hungry scum.

Exactly! They should get nothing except their salary, and coach plane tickets for when they have to go somewhere on official business.

Yep.

And as an aside, how is this not bribery?

They are giving something to the people who control their rules and regulations.

That said, although I agree with “throw them all out” most days, I’m also tired of blame for these dem economic sabotage actions attaching to Republicans who worked to keep things running. Reminds me of a gutless elementary school principal who spanks all the boys in the vicinity vs punishing the offenders, encouraging the punks and discouraging the kids who stayed out of it — it doesn’t incentivize good behavior.

But THEY need to get home to see their constituents, not like the business traveler who has been on the road for two weeks and wants to see their kids.

They should get the same loyal customer perks as anyone else.

I used to work in a company where the local pols had their accounts tagged. The previous manager wanted to pull them out of any “collections” activity, so if they were late with a payment…we would not hound them like a regular customer.

I pulled that code off all accounts.

‘I took the phone calls from these scum bags when they were “threatened” with a hit to their credit score—like everyone else when they failed to pay the bill.

You know what—they all got into line within a month.

And it’s not always the Congress Critters that are impacted. It’s their staff. And a more entitled class does not exist than a congressional staffer.

Yep. Unreported lobbying benefit, presumably.

I’m surprised our elected Pimps in Kongress don’t do what nan piglosi did, viz. commandeer a military jet for personal flights.

Make them go to the end of the line to board and disembarking. If they are in first class bump them back over the smallest reason.
