Honestly for people who's job literally affects 300 million people when they pass laws and regs, I think they number should be closer to $300-500k annually. Or already done mind of significant party raise because keeping public servants pay low leaves then suseptible to foreign corruption and influence rn.
But, by keeping a tighter hold of the rope around their necks is a good motivator to NOT become a traitor. If you want to hold public office in America, then one of the consequences is that if you become a traitor you will feel the snap of the rope squeeze your neck once the bottom drops out from under you. Remember, these are HUMBLE servants, not rich wanna be oligarcs.
