I wasn't there, but it sounds like he was trying to let the people know that he understands living paycheck to paycheck and stuff. - Jim Mar 30, 10:52 2

Read: I'm open to bribes. -- nm - David Mar 30, 10:52
Don't take a job that doesn't cover your expenses then bitch about it. Sorry. -- nm - lileve Mar 30, 10:45 4

  - Something about it is hitting a nerve. Think I'll move on from the issue. -- nm - lileve Mar 30, 10:54
I find it hilarious that Rachel is a school teacher. -- nm - lileve Mar 30, 10:35 2
- oh, she does have a job. and apparently she got a pay cut. -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 10:36 1
  - stick it to those teachers unions, Wisconsin GOP -- nm - moles Mar 30, 10:37
send wifey to work! -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 10:30 1
- often that's a losing proposition with many children once daycare costs are figured in. if all are school-aged and one can babysit the rest after- - amanda jones, transitarian Mar 30, 10:32
No one forced him to have six kids. STFU and get a second job. -- nm - lileve Mar 30, 10:29 9
- to be fair, Congressmen do have to maintain two homes, so they get a little slack for that. -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 10:31 7
  - Many of them rent or shack up together. (Though the majority of them are quite wealthy, obviously.) -- nm - Don Homer Mar 30, 10:34 2
    - I'm not calling them poor by any stretch. -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 10:35
    - Real World: Capitol Hill! -- nm - moles Mar 30, 10:34
  - That was his choice. I'm sure he knew what he was getting into. -- nm - lileve Mar 30, 10:32 3
    - oh sure, but he'd be far better off as a private attorney. -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 10:34 1
      - but eve is right that he chose this knowing how long he'd be without pay and how much he'd make once he landed. - amanda jones, transitarian Mar 30, 10:37
    - Why do you hate the wealthy? Can't you see how hard they have it? -- nm - TWuG Mar 30, 10:34
- Or Rachel should get a job if she doesn't have one. -- nm - lileve Mar 30, 10:30
But I have more debt than you! -- nm - Don Homer Mar 30, 10:27
must be pretty savvy to win as a Republican in Wisconsin. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 30, 10:26 2
- What does that have to do with what he (foolishly) said? -- nm - Don Homer Mar 30, 10:30 1
  - Nothing. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 30, 10:31
