I feel like I am in the Twilight Show.

You get what you pay for. Pay dogshit salaries with terrible benefits and you will not like the caliber of individual who is willing to be OK with such compensation. And you certainly wont like them representing you in Congress.

Are you suggesting we have high caliber individuals in congress right now? You like who is representing you now?

No. I am suggesting that if you already feel that we have poor quality politicians at this salary point then you REALLY won't like who is willing to do the same job for almost $50k less money.

But Members of Congress must maintain TWO residences, one in their home district and one in or around Washington DC, a very expensive city. At $174,000, with homes in NYC and DC, AOC is NOT living high on the hog.

Also, my post post (Milton Keeeens) was meant to showcase her confidence, despite not knowing what she's talking about, not her ignorance. I'd guess she's no smarter and no dumber than most of her colleagues.

What we need are politicians who are driven to the field by their inner desire to serve their country and lead the citizens...not people chasing a fat paycheck. No wonder our politicians don't vote against big Pharma or insurance companies or the NRA.

Seems like your Keeeens reference didn't resonate, DC.

My understanding is there are too many challengers in the race against AOC to be able to unseat her easily. Unless she's done zip with her congressional office and angered the district people who care that their congresswoman do their casework more than looking pretty on TV.

If you like confidence despite not knowing what one is talking about I have a candidate for you. He's rich too! So.....intelligent!
