We are the serfs, the government is our king. We have to work harder so they can have more, while we the people have less.

“Every year, the outlaws swing out of the trees, rob the merchants and ride back to Washington D.C. for a glorious feast over the stolen goods, which they may in some small way share with a few peasants, to secure their support.

The idiot who wrote this is clueless. This is about hiring more staff, not paying themselves more money. The swamp just encroached a few more miles of the Maryland and Virginia countryside.

This idiot is focused on all the wrong things. We should pay senators and representatives a lot more than what is barely a living wage in DC and hope we can hire competent people to do these jobs because right now no sane honest person would do it.

Increasing the size of the staff just adds to the DC bloat.

I want to strangle people like this. They are so blind. We just watched 5 years of the swamp rebelling against the people. We have seen it up close and personal. And yet we ignore the growth of this extra-constitutional creation and instead worry that a congress critter - whose job is constitutional - might personally benefit from sending a staffer on a donut run. That isn't why DC is broken. It's because there are a lot more staffers and they are all there mutually supporting each other and the Vindman's of this world doing what the Vindman's did to get rid of Trump so they could keep the Ukrainian vigorish flowing.

ARGGGHHH.

That is a real and legitimate gripe.
