It applies to staffers too. A lot of staffers are already making only $60k. In DC, you need 3-4 roommates to afford rent on that salary. Also, these are people with law degrees.

Guess what happens when they get a job offer from a lobbying firm offering $400k? Suddenly their principles are negotiable.
