The House and Senate should no longer be provided with subsidized services, such as food, health club facilities, and using their office as a residence. They should pay the fair market value for these services equal to the citizens of Washington, D.C. For any member who choses to live in their office, whether it be temporary or permanent should be required to reimburse the U.S. Treasury at a reat equal to the cost of such apartment in Washington, D.C. and any housekeeping services provided.
Why is this important?
Members of the House and Senate receive subsidized services, such as food, health club, etc. They should pay fair market value for these services. In turn any member who wishes to reside in their office should pay fair market rent. They are trying to ax jobs and benefits for their constituents, why not start with themselves.
