Generally more pay = generally less corruption. Its not a non-zero thing.

If you know anyone who is a staffer, they get hit HARD with housing.


Moving the goal posts to staffers now?

Okay?


I really don't care about their plight, their parents are probably subsidizing them like most millennials.

I support this policy if they do it just like Section 8 and make it means tested. Why the fukk should Darrel Issa, who is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, get a housing stipend?

Let these assh0les deal with the same kind of indignity they force upon the people.

Exactly. I want a curfew, alcohol, and drug testing. They also should have to work.

But again, we want people across the spectrum to serve in government.

This is a move to level that field, however slight.

Well it sounds like it's time for you to support free higher education and wage increases then.

The issues are separate.

Then you wonder why these guys leap to the private sector.

You can't pay them peanuts then expect them to do their jobs even marginally better.

Not to mention, less wealthy countries pay way more than we do.

They aren't a separate issue. You complain about accessibility but say you're against the things that would create a parity.

You're trying to shift the discussion to staffers because somewhere you know it's absurd to subsidize politicians who are already better compensated than 99% of the country.

:laff:

1. I think congressmen should be paid more. Bump everyone up. Government service in DC aint cheap.
2. Staffers deserve a larger percentage stipend and pay raise.

If you make 174k in NYC(which is more expensive that DC) you will live good. I know people here making 80k,90k,100k living well in Brooklyn or in Uptown. 174k is a good enough salary for these politicians. Plus more money doesn't end corruption. NYPD officers get paid well but they rob drug dealers of they bread or work. I have seen officer search dealers and take their money. When they take their work they have street nikkas sell them that shyt and give the money back to them. You would think an officer that makes 100k would be less corrupt but it is not the case.
