Annual Cost Of Congress In The USA
Including pension/benefits to past Congresspeople, security costs and anything else paid out by "the taxpayer" and not the Congresspeople, what is the total annual cost to operate the congressional branch of the government?

At a bare minimum? You're looking at around nearly $1 billion, assuming the math on this is accurate.

I think the Capitol Police would cost about $150-200 million (has about 1,800 personnel).

Turns out that a five way cross over between It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, the Ali G Show, Fargo, Idiocracy and Veep is a lot less funny when you're actually living in it.
