Ocasio-Cortez Complains About Not Getting Congressional Paycheck Yet: ‘How Do I Get An Apartment?’

[playtime]

How in the hell did she afford to pay rent in NYC? Just as expensive as DC is isn't it?

She worked in the "service" industry, think about it.

The dimocrats elected a waitress

the deplorables elected a carnival barker.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Slams Fox News For Laughing At Her DC Rent Problem

What a bimbo

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Slams Fox News For Laughing At Her DC Rent problem Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who this week became the youngest woman ever elected to Congress, called out Fox News for belittling her struggle to afford an apartment in Washington, D.C., during a Friday panel discussion on “America’s Newsroom.”

• 
  The Fox panelists snickered all the way through their chat on the topic, described in a chyron as: “Self-proclaimed socialist says she can’t afford DC rent.”
  
  Contributor Judy Miller actually laughed after host Bill Hemmer recalled that Ocasio-Cortez ― whose name no one pronounced correctly on the show ― was working in the service industry before she launched into her campaign to represent New York’s 14th District.

Zillow, the real estate search engine, on Wednesday listed 50 studio or one-bedroom apartments for lease on Capitol Hill, a solid majority for between $18,000 and $23,000 a year. (The cheapest, 447 square feet on 15th Street Southeast, was $1,100 a month.) Airbnb was offering more than 300 spots in the neighborhood for shorter-term rent, at an average of $152 a night. Even with that arrangement, House members would need to budget $17,000 for lodging on the 110 or so weeknights their schedule says they can expect to be in D.C. this year.

The fact that members are free to freeload off Congress is back in the news this week , as the House voted to maintain the congressional pay freeze for a seventh year. The few lawmakers willing to advocate for a raise inevitably lamented the expense of maintaining places to live in both their districts and high-cost Washington. Those complaints, in turn, revived chatter about the growing numbers who have figured out how to avoid the problem.

Bimbo? Wow you are just as ignorant as Trump. Fuck you.

Bro she's dumb as a box of rocks.

uh-huh.... yet she was smart enough to beat her opponant- a republican who is a political professor.

says more about the sheep that voted for her

She still lives in NYC -- its not as easy to pay DC rent and NYC rent -- especially if you are NOT a rich elitist....

I find it funny that Trump lovers are mocking a woman for not being rich or elite, for not being establishment -- and most importantly, you are mocking a woman who didn't use her campaign funds for her own personal expenses (Duncan Hunter) -- and who didn't have lobbyists rent her homes at dirt cheap prices (Scott Pruitt) -- but you folks want to talk about "drain the swamp"??

Trump supporters are pathetic...

Maybe that’s why she’s running on everything is free, but don’t ask how she’s gonna pay for it!

You don’t even put up a pretense of being anything other than a total wingnut anymore.

You morons scream about elites, then laugh when anyone who isn’t already rich is elected.

Well she is pretty funny whenever she talks

So she's a younger, hotter version of Sarah Palin. I can dig it.

Shit, Republicans elected a dead man.

Nevada voters elect a dead man to state Assembly

and?


so did Democrats


Missouri elects dead man as senator

He wasn’t a pimp. Republicans knew who they were electing in Nevada.

Are you really just the party of billionaires now?

Now? They always have been

Members Living in Their Offices Rent-Free Adds Up

Republicans like Paul Ryan are living in public housing, sticking taxpayers with the bill.

 

[Moonglow]

There’s Finally a Fight Over Members of Congress Sleeping in Their Offices. Maybe We Should Just Build Them a Dorm.
MARCH 7, 2018
For a couple decades now, we’ve been accustomed to the occasional reminder that some members of Congress—mostly Republicans, but a few Democrats, too—try to keep their anti-Washington purity intact by sleeping in their offices while they’re in session, rather than find more, ahem, normal accommodations around Washington. It’s one of those moves that has the dual appeal of sticking it to the DC establishment and proving some level of frugality to the voters back home.
Maybe It's Time to Build Congress a Dorm

I don't see what cause there is for derision here. You are laughing because she's not a typical rich guy elected to go to D.C. and get wealthier?

She needs to get her office assigned, throw in a sofa bed and she's ready to roll. There are showers, a cafeteria, you can live there during the term and quite a few do.

 

[Moonglow]

So now that we have seen that for years members of Congress have been complaining about pay and rent and affordable housing in DC...Yet the OP seems fit to only chastise one person that has mentioned it...Stupid partisans and their vindictive hypocrisy..

To be fair she isn't just a plain ole bimbo, she's an ignorant one as well.
Having said that, mocking her financial status is pretty shallow & elitist
