Life as a US Congressman isn't all perks. Some lawmakers are now sleeping in their offices in Washington, bunking down to save money -- and to set an example of cost-cutting as Congress debates the debt crisis.Duration: 02:00
@SEC Securities and Exchange Commission I'm sure this is sarcastic, but I mean it's the US Capitol. No other apartment building has its own tax payer funded federal police force.
I've heard of some Representatives doing this because they're saving money, that they'd normally pay in rent, to pay for their kids college education. Pretty awesome parenting.
legally you're supposed to have your primary residence in your own state. you're supposed to live in in the state you represent. i don't get how they would maintain 2 homes without giving up their residency in their own state? @@kaidonspare6416
For the people “ I am NOT a king or a prince or a lord and the people who sent me here are the people I serve and I don’t even want to get to a point where I believe that because I’m here I’m better then them “.
I like that those congressmen are being frugal and for their constituents. While I don’t always like Paul Gosar, I admire that he is being frugal for his family and for his constituents by sleeping in his office rather than in some luxury hotel suite payed for by lobiests.
The true magic is in what you see him wearing.those things carry a tremendous amount of power so much so that he doesn’t need to do too much talking it doesn’t for him
It would be all show if Democrats like Bennie Thompson were not trying to push for an "affordable housing" bill for congress members that make $174000+ a year!
Because Trump is a working class representative. Low inflation. This is why they went for Trump. Trump is the only voice that fights for middle America and the working class.
Imagine coming into one of these guys offices to talk about some important shit and all you can think is damn this nigga really sleepin on the floor in here
Sleeping on the couch in your office? That’s ridiculous. Poor Americans can’t even afford their rents and these people have the privilege on taxpayers dime to sleep inside the halls of Capitol Hill?
Republicans or conservatives, do just that. Conserve. An attempt to save resources and money to prevent inflation. It’s generally why the economy is worse during democrat administrations. Hence “Obama and Biden recessions”
Gosar is awesome. I respect him even more after this video. He does free dentist charities, he sleeps in his own office, and represents Arizona well. We love Paul Gosar.
@@iggypopisgod9 these congressmen make hundreds of millions from lobbyist they can afford an apt over taxes are so high because of these people freeeloading off taxpayers while they pay very little or no taxes this is socialism
