"A young woman with no real-world experience is about to learn the hard way that her ideology is impractical. I have to give Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez credit for sincerity in her announcement on Twitter that she plans to compress the pay scale of her staff, reallocating the budget she receives for staff, and cutting the pay at the top, while increasing the pay at the bottom. If she stays in office long enough, the consequences of implementing leftist cant will become clear to her over time, so it may be a teaching experience".
The New York Democrat has introduced an unusual policy that no one on her staff will make less than $52,000 a year - an almost unheard of amount for many of the 20-somethings whose long hours make House and Senate offices run.
That's well below the median pay for Hill chiefs of staff at $154,634, according to the Legistorm analysis.
For a while, she will retain senior staff at low pay because they are committed to the ideological goals they think that they share with her.
Sooner or later, staff will begin to resent her luxuries compared to their own sacrifices.
The staff members who are perceived as capable will receive other offers, maybe from other progressive members of Congress, maybe from media, or maybe from lobbyists.
Lower level staff always have been willing to work for low wages because they value the experience they accumulate.
