from google
"In 2009, Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) acknowledged during an appearance on C-SPAN's Washington Journal that he had been "living off the public tit" as a member of Congress. "

I thought he had mentioned a number of years, but it doesn't say that. He first took office in the Iowa house in 1959 or some 67 years ago
