Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt said Thursday that the days of gym memberships being paid for by the American taxpayer are over.

"Well, the gym memberships ended yesterday, it was quite something to hear about that," Pruitt said. He said the agency is investigating the matter, saying "it was the previous administration that granted those gym memberships," which "were rather expensive."

Oh, dear, what next. The saunas? No, no, not the saunas.
I understand your point, but we really have to jump on that thinking. There are two parts to getting expenses down—zero based budgeting and significant process review. Challenge everything. If a program is a winner, let it run. If a program doesn’t work—let it die.
Those bombs are a drop in the bucket compared to the 1.5 Billion that Obama gave to Iran, Michelle’s vacations, and the $600 billion that mysteriously vanished from hillarys state department.
I’m sure the snowflakes in th EPA will survive.
The best part is that someone like Pruitt was put in charge of this agency.
Let them pay for their own, like the rest of us.
Any Manhattan company worth anything offers it
I’ve never NOT had it.
LOL!
Not to mention methane, from accidental farts.
You know anytime they cut back costs is a good thing..........
Any Manhattan company worth anything offers it
Ive never NOT had it.

A HUGE difference!!
Thanks for pointing that out.
I wasn’t thinking.
The idea is supposed to be that a gym membership is cheaper than an employee getting a heart attack or stroke.
But i personally think if you’re not going to a gym because you dont want to spend 40 a month for the most basic gym, a company paying for it isn’t going to make you go.
So happy to see and hear about the excessive spending habits of Democrats and Obama.
Thank God for DJT’s administration to finally be watching their spending and eliminating frivolous benefits for the bureaucrats.
Is that the famous “hockey stick” graph?
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Can you imagine the perks Congresscritters are getting, while telling us that we have to tighten our belts?
Good reply for cost of the bombshell
Small cuts can add up over time, and annoy the government parasites
Many parts of the original so-called ‘stimulus’ went to Obambi’s favorite obsessions like the EPA. So the EPA’s budget was jacked way up. Then, that new, one year larger EPA budget was replicated year after year after year, thanks to that insane mechanism, the Continuing Resolution. The democRATS and weak-kneed Repubs with no balls whatsoever let that new EPA’S spending level repeat for years. And, what many don’t know is the NGOs would submit proposals to the EPA, Then use EPA’s money to lobby the EPA for Climate Change insanity.
Creepozoids all.
