    Seriously. In the grand scheme of things, they have super important jobs that should pay fairly well. They should make enough money that on their salary alone, they can afford to keep homes in both DC and wherever they are coming from. $175k isn’t really enough.

    …and they need to make way stronger laws preventing them from engaging in any unethical revenue streams.
