All these Republican House members sleeping in their offices. They are trying to portray some B.S. notion that "they came to D.C to work!" and that "they aren't going to spend the taxpayers dime finding a place to live". Don't they get a housing allowance? Are these guys not pocketing their allowance? Just seems like some contrived bullshit.
