xtralettucetomatoe580 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 She isn’t wrong. If we want high quality staffers from middle class families, they need to pay. I could have sworn this came up a few years ago and they fixed it? Guess not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why term limits may not do what we would all like. The politicians get the boot, but the staff stays and keeps the same ideas moving.

Big Crappie Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Agree they should be paid. Then there's this from her....... Quote — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@Ocasio2018) December 3, 2018 It is unjust for Congress to budget a living wage for ourselves, yet rely on unpaid interns & underpaid overworked staff just because Republicans want to make a statement about “fiscal responsibility.” Quote — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@Ocasio2018) December 3, 2018 A study last year by the advocacy group Pay Our Interns found that only 51 percent of Republican senators offer paid internships and just 31 percent of Democrats do. Things are much worse over in the House, where just 8 percent of Republican interns are paid and a measly 3.6 percent of Democrats interns are.
