Time to Pay the Rent

Did you read about some of those newly elected Republican congress members who are proud to say that they bunk in their office?  No Washington digs for them--they are saving money.  Well, boys, what you are doing is staying in a building that my tax money paid for?  Why do you get to use public buildings for personal use?  Can I sleep there?
Now the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington would like the Office of Congressional Ethics to investigate these leeches.  Melanie Sloan, the executive director of the group was quoted in the New York Times today saying, “House Office Buildings are not dorms or frat houses.”  
She’s right.  Quit bunking at taxpayers’ expense.  Get a room.

  1. I guess that if they get a room they will find a way to have it expense written off as tax payer money anyhow. Some how we always pay the bill no matter what.
