Kid, if you can't get it together to find housing in DC on the amount of money you're sucking out of the public trough every year plus what you're getting through all those juicy insider stock tips Congress gets, the problem is you and perhaps you need someone to help you with a budget. After all, most people in DC are managing their lives on a quarter of what you're paid.

Remember, child, you're not supposed to be trying to keep up with the Kochs. You're there to serve the voters. You know, those little people who live in post WWII shacks and dress out of Walmart and drive old cars because you're holding their wages down.

And if you still can't manage to cope, it's time to quit. Don't let the door smack ya...
