What, these perfumed princes can’t go to a regular barbershop in the d.c. area to have their ear and nose hair trimmed!?
As an important institution I fully expect the Republic to crumble the day it closes it's doors. /S
Just a small illustration of the madness that infects Washington, DC.
What are their paychecks for?
I can at least partially sympathize with the Senators about the convenience of having a barber on site. Heck, I wish we had that here at my office. Have a heckuva time getting to a barber that is working when I’m not.
But that doesn’t translate into a necessity for public funding of such an institution.
Couldn’t a barbershop space be provided, and then rented out on a daily basis to several barbers and their staffs - one organization gets Mondays, another Tuesdays, etc.? I imagine that the ability to advertise that a shop was one of 5 or 3 or whatever official Senate barbers would be valuable.
Here is an idea, close it down, along with every other frill service they’ve given themselves.
They can get a haircut out in town, just like everyone else.
seems we are paying for senators hair cuts along with the Mooche’s billions in clothes.

yet they can’t find one single thing to cut...how about their salaries for one and platinum health care while our’s is RATIONED and comes out of our pockets.
Two words, “Great Clips.”
I’ll bet those Federal barbers are the highest paid barbers in America. At least $100,000 a year. You gotta know someone to get this job
