Frankly, you still can’t live in D.C. on $45,000/year.
To keep up with inflation, it should be at least one hundred and eleventy billion dollars
That’s around panhandling level in DC…
True. Its a very high cost of living area.
Mainly due to relentless government spending.
Thats true. I dont know how many work year round though.
When I lived in DC three or four would share an apt. But the apt they shared wasn’t cheap because the location they chose. Dupont Circle, Waterfront etc.
That may be true, but that would only impact the working class clerks and lower level functionaries the Democrats believe are inferior because they lack education. So even if they can't afford to live on that...it's no skin of the backs of the D.C. elites themselves, is it?
If Biden's puppet masters aren't stopped $45,000 a year won't be enough to live on Tobacco Rd.
You are probably right. I was in DC for classes during one of the economic downturns. The malls were empty at home but in DC it looked like Black Friday.
What I am suggesting is a one-time expense of moving government departments to different areas in the country. This would free up housing and keep the costs of running the government down. It also would make the government more responsive to the people that they write regulations for.
That’s just a minimum salary. And it’s a part time job.
I was thinking the same. $45k a year is scrape-by wages in DC.
