Show Notes
U.S. Senate office spending surges 43% since 2020, reaching nearly $700 million annually, with each senator getting $3.5-5 million for staff, travel, and operations. Critics decry excessive spending on roles like chaplain, door keepers, and private jets, while supporters argue it reflects rising costs and growth needs. Transparency remains unclear, with data buried in PDFs, and no explanation from leadership for spending spikes.
