Do not let the "servants of the people" live like they do. Build a 500 bed dorm -- 4 cots to a room. Mattresses like those you had at camp. While in DC that is where they live and sleep. Bus leaves for work every day at 7:45 and returns home at 6:30.
If you vote to spend any money you lose your mattress for 2 weeks.

The moment you step into a world of facts, you step into a world of limits. You can free things from alien or accidental laws, but not from the laws of their own nature. You may, if you like, free a tiger from his bars; but do not free him from his stripes. Do not free a camel from the burden of his hump: you may be freeing him from being a camel. G. K. Chesterton
