Members of Congress are spending big on their congressional offices, giving them the “ultimate pimp-over.”
The Hill notes that each “lawmaker is given an average of $1.2 million a year for his or her member representational account (MRAs), which pays the salaries of 18 full-time aides, travel, mass mailings, leased cars, bottled water, coffee and everything else a modern office needs.”
Members are pimping out their offices with $5,700 plasma-screen tvs, $823 ionic air fresheners, $975 window blinds, and $623 popcorn machines.
Roll over the image below to pimp your congressional office. (Make sure your speakers are cranked up.)
