Did some Congressmen recently try to live on minimum wage for a month?
Advertisements [?]
I thought I heard that some Congressmen were trying to live on minimum wage--or was it the equivalent of food stamps?-for one month. I have a friend who said this is a lie, that no member of Congress would do that. Did I get it wrong? I think some Representative was doing this, but couldn't find anything in any internet searches. Any information will be appreciated, and links would be greatly appreciated.
