Capitol Hill staffers are reportedly suffering their own "affordability crisis" as the price of Celsius energy drinks has risen by a whopping 10 cents. Yes, you read that right – the same D.C. swamp dwellers who ignored Americans' suffering under Biden's inflation nightmare are now crying about dimes.
According to reports, these overpaid government workers are struggling to cope with minor price increases while earning salaries that most hardworking Americans can only dream of. Entry-level Senate staffers pull in $55,106 annually, while House aides start at $45,000 – both well above national averages for their age groups.
The Swamp's Tone-Deaf Complaints
While families across America have watched their grocery bills double and gas prices soar thanks to the disastrous Biden administration policies, these privileged Capitol Hill insiders are whining about spending an extra dime on their trendy energy drinks. The audacity is breathtaking.
These are the same people who worked for politicians who spent four years telling us that inflation was "transitory" and that high gas prices were just the "cost of freedom." Now they're discovering what real Americans have known all along – that every penny matters when you're living paycheck to paycheck.
"It's rich that the people who helped create this inflation crisis are now complaining about its effects on their luxury beverages," one conservative commentator noted.
President Trump's economic policies are already showing signs of reversing the damage done by the previous administration, but it will take time to undo four years of economic sabotage. Meanwhile, these Capitol Hill cry-babies serve as a perfect reminder of just how out of touch the D.C. establishment really is.
A Lesson in Priorities
Perhaps these staffers should try shopping for groceries like regular Americans, or filling up their gas tanks after years of Biden's war on American energy. Then they might understand what a real affordability crisis looks like.
The fact that a 10-cent increase on an energy drink is newsworthy to these people shows exactly why President Trump's drain-the-swamp agenda resonates so strongly with everyday Americans. How can these privileged insiders possibly understand the struggles of working families when they're this disconnected from reality?
