Our 100 Senators are each paid 174,000.00 dollars a year, and they receive premium healthcare and retirement benefits.
Did you know:
They also cost the American taxpayers over 800 MILLION dollars a year in additional "revolving funds" including:
$1,666/year PER SENATOR (*100) for Gift Shop Purchases
$1,200/year PER SENATOR for Gym Memberships
AND
$333/year PER SENATOR for HAIR CARE SERVICES!
(unbelievable? Google the law: 2 USC 121b-1 )
President Obama, please close these revolving funds and perks. They represent wasteful government spending and a lack of concern for our national debt.
