Let's do a bit of calculation, shall we?
"The House of Representatives has averaged 146.7 "legislative days a year since 2001"
From 2013-2018, the House spent about 4-5 hours a day while in session.
147 x 5 = 734 hours in session per year
$174,000 / 734 = $237 per hour, which does not include their Cadillac health insurance coverage and their insider trading exemption
I suggest they use their copious off hours to get a side gig. I hear UberEats, DoorDash, or Instacart can be a great way to supplement their income.
