The House of Representatives is planning to announce they will give staffers in Washington, D.C., and in district offices, free Peloton memberships using taxpayer dollars each month amid skyrocketing inflation.

According to a draft email obtained by FOX Business from the office of the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO), the "premier employee benefit," which will also be made available to all Capitol Police, will provide staffers with both Peloton All-Access and a Peloton App membership at no monthly cost.

The last person ever considered in this country is the taxpayer. They could care less about him.

Let me amend that. The straight, white, male taxpayer. He is considered to less than dirt in the eyes of Washington pols...

I’m they are spending money on the important thing and not on things like solving the baby formula problem that they created.

Peloton is on the ropes - going bankrupt - and burning through money like a California wildfire. Truth is, the only reason they were successful in their early days was the Covid lockdown forcing the entire population out of their preferred gym memberships. Face it - it’s a failed business model and throwing taxpayer money at it isn’t going to help. Those expensive bikes will just end up being and expensive place to throw clothes on just like every treadmill ever sold.

Don't we taxpayers have any say when Nancy and her DC crew hand out the expensive perks to each other--with cash right out of our wallets??

It’s good to be king.

King buys loyalists. These folks are loyal to the government, for sure, and well taken care of for their loyalty.
