According to some congresswomen, they absolutely need that $170,000/yr salary to survive.

are they responsible for paying their own staff? do they have things like residences provided in washington or must they get their own?  when they travel or have meals that are business related are they covered by a seperate fund?

Not responsible for paying their own staff. I believe all business related expenses are paid. I am talking take-home pay from work.
