As they enjoy over $4.6bn in subsidized healthcare, travel and other government perks subsidized by taxpayers, these lawmakers bemoan the waste of government spending on the poor. They pledge fiscal discipline— pinching every taxpayer penny—on the backs of people living below the poverty level, as the lawmakers themselves count on up to $1.2bn in retirement benefits."
