No, I don't understand that.
So all those congresscritters are there for purely altruistic reasons, eh?
Right.....
Each and every one of us is getting far more in service benefits because programs are being run out of DC (and State capitals and county seats) that combine resources to provide common goods than any one of us could pay for by ourselves.
Ya think?
Some of them are under threat by the Trump administration and Republican Congress, but even there that will leave each and every one of us with far more service benefit being provided out of the federal government than we could pay for or organize for ourselves.
There is probably a myriad of programs that could be done away with. But none of that matters if the dipshits in congress are only interested in lining their pockets or getting their pet pork. Far too many have come from relative obscurity, get elected to the hallowed halls of congress and end up being VERY wealthy all the while raking in money off the backs of the very people that they claim to be representing.
You just aren't understanding and appreciating who is paying for what in your life and what benefits you are enjoying and taking for granted.
I understand very well who is paying for it.
The taxpayers.
