$29,000,000 and counting. That is how tough her life is.

Cry me an ocean.

I have a solution. Build dormitory style housing for use by members of the House and Senate while in DC when Congress is in session.

The Bell-Curve hangs left and low over her constituents.

It’s so unfortunate :-/

If she doesn’t like the job, can’t she just quit?

I think I read that Trey Gowdy slept in his office. Gowdy’s gone though. I think there’s a few others. Less then 10.

Members of the House receive a $900,000 annual allowance for a staff as well as a $250,000 budget for travel and office expenses, paid for entirely by taxpayers.

They fly for free, get a primo pension Primo health care, free airport parking, free on-site gym, inside info on stock market, up to 239 days off a year.

Wow sucks to be a US Congressman.

Idiotic as she is, I think she has a point.

I’ve never rented an apartment in NYC or Washington, but I’ve heard about it, and it would probably chew well into $174,000 per year, which is $14,500 per month. If rent in each city for a fairly nice place is $5,000 per month, then she’s at $4,500 per month, about the same as a 1st Lieutenant with 2 years of service. And a lieutenant would get a housing allowance ($2,379 per month for Washington) and a food allowance (280.29 per month).

Possibly she gets a tax write-off for her Washington residence.

Is $5,000/month too high for rent in those cities for a fairly nice apartment?

Maybe she should get married and split the costs? I hear she's engaged.

Perhaps there should be a Federal barracks for the House and Senate where all congressional members live while they are in DC.

I've often thought that. There is space at the Joint Base Andrews, at the Navy Yard, at Walter Reed, as well as the former campus of Walter Reed, and many other areas for such accommodations, which could be secured.
