Sadly the jannietype is the good outcome here. A congresscritter who just gets off on status and petty showboating in hearings is annoying, but better than the ones who are actively selling out the public, which is more likely.

Congressmen should be given a big payrise, but it should be illegal for them, their relatives, or associated entities to trade stock of any kind.
Also, after leaving office, they're not allowed to work in the private sector for a minimum of 1/3 of the years they were in office.

Unusual whales tweets seem kinda r-slurred, so I don't know how much I trust them. But at any rate, doesn't seem like it's some incredible moneymaker for congressppl, compared to just using the S&P 500.

I mean, that other guy with the eyepathch just invented his own currency and insisted everyone who used his mercenary group paid him in it. I think he also used to find rough diamonds in boxes sometimes. Also he cut down on recruiting fees by kidnapping Soviet soldiers and keeping them locked up in an off-shore rig until they broke and volunteered to join. All good financial strategies.

If they were compensated enough so make insider trading or other distractions from doing their job with integrity I think it'd be a good thing. Crenshaw is just a loser whining liar and fricking sucks for other reasons.

Nah there will never be 'enough' to content greedy fricks. You have to enact laws to stop the insider trading and 'distractions.' If you paid some of these guys a million a year they'd still be making shady deals on the daily.
I do agree on principle that pay should be enough that a congressman can maintain a DC and home residence and pay their family's bills though.

At least some house reps room together. Idk how common it is, but I've read several profiles of congressmen who lived in the equivalent of a 23 year old's bachelor pad but for junior congressmen.
It know it's quite common at the state level in California. Sacramento is expensive-ish and pretty remote so a lot of officials and staffers end up subleasing from each other.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the 'low' pay offset by subsidized gold plated health insurance, travel reimbursement, and pension, etc?
checks yep
And that's without the loosened insider trading restrictions, or lucrative board positions at universities, think tanks, or whatever while employed. They're fine.

Isn't the travel reimbursement mainly for travel between their district and D.C., which they only have to do because of the job?
The health insurance and pension is nice for them, but I'd trade a higher salary for getting rid of the insider trading/board positions.
