The $1.5 trillion omnibus bill has plenty of inflationary spending, and the honorable members of the legislature didn’t leave themselves out.
As part of the $1.5 trillion omnibus spending bill released Wednesday, the $5.9 billion fiscal 2022 Legislative Branch funding portion would substantially boost the office budgets of House members to pay staff more…
This legislation would provide $774.4 million for the Members Representational Allowance, known as the MRA, which funds the House office budgets for lawmakers, including staffer salaries. This $134.4 million, or 21 percent, boost over the previous fiscal year marks the largest increase in the MRA appropriation since it was authorized in 1996, according to a bill summary by the House Appropriations Committee. For paid interns in member and leadership offices, the House would get $18.2 million.

Welcome to Panem. Drunk-arse Woody Harrelson will be your guide.
WELL... They have to buy gas and food too....Why should they suffer like the rest of us?

They already live in gated communities and such. And, have secret service, state and local police, etc. no worries, they feel safe.
Popular saying these days: You can’t comply your way out of tyranny.
Are we still complying?
And paid off the student loans for the staffers. Keep electing the same old folks.
SOuth Carolina keep el ring Graham and Scott.
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.
I hope those bat rastards burn in hell, every last one of them.
That is a real and legitimate gripe.
