Democrats quietly tucked a provision into internal House rules that grants lawmakers access to an optional $34,000 annual subsidy to pay for their Washington, D.C., housing and meal expenses,” the report explained.

So far, 113 Democrats and 104 Republicans have taken at least some cash, costing taxpayers a combined $1.4 million.

Just for the first half of 2023.

It's hard work screwing over your constituents, the extra money eases the pain.

That raise is more than the per capita income of Oklahoma.

I wish I had the words to express my anger.

These goverment parasites are bleeding the taxpayer. I can't even say that they get paid to do nothing as they are quite effective at actively undermining the values and culture that built this nation.

The balls they got wanting this on top of the money they spent foolishly and criminally

I would send a sternly worded email or hand written letter, but honestly at this point what does it matter,

We have entered the banana republic phase of the fall of America.

Screw it all. Nothing matters anymore.

That's ok, the voters will just be upset a little while and vote for the same thieves again next election. Makes for a couple of days of forum posts to vent our frustrations though.

Well they did get us trillions of dollars in debt. What else would you expect

Meh its pennies compared to the money that is sent to foreign aid, and at least these dollars remain in US circulation.

Gotta keep the sights on Ukraine and Israel.

They hide behind a phone number that they’ll never answer and a staff that will never get them in touch with any of their constituents. They are cowards of the biggest degree and they hate us. There is no other explanation. Infuriates me too
