The second highest paying Congress person pays less than half that for their district office.

Is Nancy Pelosi special?

No.

Don't all the congressmen get pretty much the same budget for staffing and offices? (with the speaker getting a bit more)
Something like 2 to 4 million for offices, staff salaries, supplies, equipment, mailings etc.

I think she sucks. Why won't San Fransisco get rid of this wacko?

Why should they? She works for them, not you.

What do the people of San Fransisco think?

In general, they like her. She has worked for her district and state. (and brought home the bacon, so to speak)

How is it possible that these folks love her so much? Are they all freaks?

A wide variety of people and business are in the bay area. Most are not freaks.

I know Nancy loves to spend taxpayer money, but, come on.....

Talk to the republicans. They have never voted down increase in the amount for congressional staffing when they were in power. And they wont in the future.

I think a great many politicians and their spouses should be ashamed of what they spend during a time when so many citizens are out of work due to no fault of their own and are suffering financially. Of course that is only my opinion.....politicians still think they are destined to be treated like royalty.

Is she paying 33% more per square foot? That's where it counts.
