Ocasio Cortez says efforts to hike Congressional pay “may not be politically popular to say but honestly this is why there's so much pressure to turn to lobbying firms and to cash in on member service after people leave because precisely of this issue.”

Have you tried to live in DC, maintain 2 houses (one in your district) and travel back and forth. 174K would get eaten up pretty quick. Especially if your other home is New York
$174k is more than median *household* income in DC and the median *household* income in AOC's district **combined.** By a substantial margin.

Gee thanks for that useless thing you came up with

You're saying that $174k would get "eaten up pretty quick" by a residence in each district, plus travel expenses between the two. I'm asking you how it is that the combined salaries of two median *families* in those locations + $30,000 for travel is insufficient. Useless, indeed.
