What's the Cost of Running the Bundestag?

 Well....N-TV had a piece on today which discussed this matter.  Presently, the cost factor is up around 1-billion Euro (1.25 billion dollars).....if the current size is maintained (in terms of members).

Presently, there is chatter that around 150-plus members may end up in the mix, and the cost factor is suggested to be 600 to 900 million Euro extra, if they go to 900 members.

This being ridiculous on the numbers?  It's not a top twenty-issue yet, but it comes up in conversation a good bit now.  How many are the directed or written number?  598.

Because of varying rules added....the number is not concrete.  Some suggest the number might come very close to 1,000 by the end of October.  So this amount might end up as 2-billion Euro?  Well....yeah.  Democracy costs a lot.....if you didn't realize it.  Plus those folks have a decent pension deal, which is rarely if ever mentioned.
