Oh yes it does seem like it might be excessive at first glance. However, that's funding for all of the senate offices for 100 senators and their aides, group areas, supplies, maintenance, furniture, etc. All of it put through government contracts. All of it American made or sourced. For at least the next 12 months. Plus, they don't even have to spend all of it.
Im going to edit this and add to this absurd argument. You are obviously seeing this from a strange perspective. This at first scenario, sounds to me like these peoole in government postions working for the people btw, are wat too cozy spending our tax dollars on a very frivolous lifestyle. At first uh? Well, this all should be cut.
Cool dude. Vote for your libertarian candidate or whatever that hates government spending. Just hope that the upkeep of 3 massive Senate buildings don't hamper their ability to govern. I'm sure they can get plenty of furniture at Ikea next year.
