allowance from taxpayers. Lawmakers are billing you for all sorts of things like a $2,793 laptop or $24,730 for a hybrid rental car or two 46 -inchSony TVs. Your tax dollars paid for all of it.
The Wall Street Journal reported that House members get an allowance of 1.3-1.9 million dollars while U.S Senators get $2.9-4.5 million every year.
The money is often spent on staff salaries, travel and office supplies. Lawmakers expense these reports, some with lots of details, other not so much. Here is the kicker. It's all legal.
