Fuck that these guys all make way more than your average worker. Get the people paid first. These officials can go to jail where they belong.

The time that he complained he wasn't making enough money was after he took a $267,000 loan for a luxury RV so this comes across as him wanting a lavish lifestyle instead of actually struggling.

I'm sorry but is $300k not enough? And that is just their federal pay. All of them have book deals and get an extra couple hundred thousand a year from that. If they have issues living on that, they have some serious spending problems.
