Reality is Lost on our Politicians
The reality of the regular American is lost on our politicians. While on the never ending campaign trail, politicians continue to say that they understand what the working person goes through. However, a closer look at their budgets say otherwise. Here are some of the staff salaries of the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi:
These amounts are paid QUARTERLY!
Brendan Daly, Communications Director: $43,125.00
Joseph Onek, Senior Counsel to the Speaker: $43,125.00
Wyndee R. Parker, Senior Policy Advisor: $43,125.00
Reva B. Price, Policy Advisor: $23,780.00
Ellen S. Qualls, Sr Adv for Strategic Planning: $42,127.08
John K. Brennan, Special Assistant: $31,385.01
Diane Dewhirst, Senior Advisor: $28,500.00
Nadeem Elshami, Deputy Communications Director: $37,692.75
Bridget C. Fallon, Director of Protocol: $30,770.51
Jerry Hartz, Dir. of Floor Operations: $41,305.76
Jamie E. Lizarraga, Dir. Mem. Serv/Sr. Ad.: $40,962.50
Melinda L. Medlin, Director of Scheduling: $36,000.01
Catlin W. O’Neal, Deputy Floor Assistant: $30,273.75
Cheryl P. Rose, Dir. of Intergov’t Affairs: $38,793.75
Jonothan Stivers, Senior Advisor: $31,091.99
Charles R. Wooters II, Director: $34,499.99
These are just the names and salaries of just some of Mrs. Pelosi’s staff, and remember, these salaries are paid every quarter. How can our politicians say they understand what the people go through when they have staffs that have so much redundancy and such high budgets. The problem is the system and the republicans are just as much to blame as the Democrats. Now is the time for a change, by the people, and for the people. When regular Americans run for office, then we will truly have politicians who understand the people.
