Turns out, running Congress isn’t cheap—and neither are the staffers. In 2025, the Senate alone spent $571.8M on salaries & office expenses.
📌 House: 9,000+ staffers (15-18 per Rep)
📌 Senate: Some have 60+ aides

👀 So… what do they all do?
Writing bills? Staffers.
Reading the bills? Also, staffers (because let’s be real, how many senators are reading 1,000-page legislation at 2 AM?).
💡 And yet, somehow, they “don’t have time” to read bills before voting? Weird how that works.
