Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia this week discussed the hard work of being a member of Congress. Along with the time the job takes away from family, Greene said a downfall was taking a pay cut.

Greene made the comments during an appearance on journalist Glenn Greenwald's show that airs on Rumble. The interview touched on topics such as the war in Ukraine and the recent prolonged struggle to elect a new House speaker before Greene brought up some personal complaints.

Greene cited financial losses as one of the negative aspects of her role as a representative. According to official records, rank-and-file members of Congress make $174,000 a year.

"Becoming a member of Congress has made my life miserable. I made a lot more money before I got here. I've lost money since I've gotten here," Greene, who once owned a gym, said. Newsweek could not independently verify her previous salary.

So, she's on record for term limits, thinks she's under-paid, and is miserable.

Does she need to be reminded that she's free to quit any time she wants to? It's not like she's being held hostage.

And the country is pretty miserable with her in the House too. Her leaving would be (apparently) a WIN-WIN.

1. What is the average salary of her constituents? Yep

She can leave and grift away.

2. Ho'n ain't easy.

3. That's funny

I was thinking that one of the budget cuts we could make is to reduce the congressional salaries, since most of them are already rich, and getting richer. Oh and get rid of the pension plan, which by the way is 7x what I collect from social security.

4. Maybe the government should disclose to them their salary before they decide to run.

Oh, wait, it's a matter of public record.

So is the cost of housing in VA and MD. Mark Kelly and Gabby told me it isn't easy, but it can be managed if one lives modestly.

Oh, wait, Republicans do NOT like to live modestly. Well, then go rob a bank or have some cyber whiz-for-hire raid some account of a Russian oligarch in Cyprus and transfer it to you after taking out his fee. Whatever.

Republicans whining about their salaries (paid for out of OUR taxes, in case anyone among them forgot) cutting into their their partying budget--this isn't new. They bring it up periodically, but somehow, budget-cutting never seems to apply to them, but rather to people who earn half (or less) what they do.

5. Why did she seek reelection for?

[Walleye]

6. She's so stupid. She watched others and thought, gee being in Congress is a gold mine

This is what you get when you believe your own bullshit. She can’t understand why she’s not making as much money as the “Biden crime family”, Which is something she made up in her little pea-sized brain.

7. Didn't she hoover up a whole lot of Covid money, too? Greedy pig.

[trusty elf]

8. To help her make ends meet....

and put food on her fambly, people should send her "chocolate" pies!

[Irish_Dem]

9. This is how she justifies taking Russian and dark money.

She is so underpaid, only makes peanuts.
She deserves so much more.

10. Hard work? LOL

[themaguffin]

11. She and Glenn are both grifter pieces of shit

[AltairIV]

12. Really?

Interesting. She has the highest paid part time job in America ( congress was only in session for 146 days last year ), and somehow managed to buy an $11 million dollar home. The mansion which has 6 bathrooms is is on par for someone who is full of sh*t.

[bullimiami]

13. The grifter is mad because she is t getting as much as some around her.

180000 ppp loan forgiven, 175000 / yr salary all manner of built in perks and benefits and she gets to live a high dollar lifestyle on the pockets of donors. Still complaining.

14. As Todd Rundgren says...

And I totally agree...

15. So Quit!
