Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has GOT to be trolling. We know, we’ve said that before but NO WAY this is real … no way someone who is truly this dense about all things has been elected as a Congresswoman. Yeah yeah, we know, Trump doesn’t know a whole lot about these things either and he was elected president.
Hrm.
Ok SMOD, any day now.
This week I went to dive spot in DC for some late night food. I chatted up the staff.
SEVERAL bartenders, managers, & servers *currently worked in Senate + House offices.*
This is a disgrace. Congress of ALL places should raise MRAs so we can pay staff an actual DC living wage.

She went to a dive spot on purpose?
Alrighty then.
To each their own.
It is unjust for Congress to budget a living wage for ourselves, yet rely on unpaid interns & underpaid overworked staff just bc Republicans want to make a statement about “fiscal responsibility.”
If that’s the case, they can cut down on staff to pay them well. Or raise the MRA.

On what planet is $174k annually a living wage?
And it’s the Republican’s fault that all staffers are paid less?
Right.
So how much of your $170+k are you giving up to pay for the unpaid interns? You're not that dense in knowing internships are never a paid position. It is used by young people to get experience, and pad their resume. But keep complaining…you'll be a one termer before too long

She’s got an apartment in D.C. to pay for your monster!
$174,000 is well above a living wage. Did you actually attend an economics class?

Just call her ‘Jenny From the Block!’
Men and Women in Congress are overpaid at $174K per year.

This. ^
So the Democrats pay their workers and the Republicans don't?

Right after they’re done kicking puppies and starving orphans, duh.
