Highlights:

"On Monday, Chaffetz – who has served as chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee – acquiesced that $174,000 a year is a “handsome” congressional salary, but he argued a housing stipend could save taxpayers money. For example, he said, his wife could visit him more instead of his taking frequent flights home on taxpayers' dime."

"As The Hill notes, a stipend for 535 members of Congress would amount to just more than $16 million a year."

Those guys make $174,000 a year plus whatever/whatever. All of them are close to if not millionaires.....

...................wants a housing stipend when in Washington.

In another article I read he goes on to say he can't afford a mortgage in Utah, send his kids to college and travel to Washington.

Sounds like Chaffetz needs ObamaCare....
