[quote]Rep. Jim Moran (D-Va.) said in an interview with Roll Call on Thursday that members of Congress are underpaid and can't afford to live "decently" in Washington. "I think the American people should know that the members of Congress are underpaid," Moran said. "I understand that it's widely felt that they underperform, but the fact is that this is the board of directors for the largest economic entity in the world." Members of Congress make $174,000 per year currently.[/quote] Mkay [quote]Moran, for what it's worth, represents a district just across the river in Nothern Virginia, so he doesn't have to deal with maintaining two homes, like many members do. [/quote] Oh, the struggle of being able to afford two homes.
