YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Republican Congressman Jason Chaffetz might be leaving office this week, but that hasn’t stopped him from trying to convince America that members of Congress should be entitled to a $2,500 a month housing stipend to pay for their living areas in Washington, D.C.  The man who once said that poor people need to choose between wasting money on an iPhone and purchasing health insurance says that the taxpayers should be paying for Congress’s housing. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.
