Lawmakers expensed millions in 2023 under new program that doesn’t require receipts

Must be nice not having to keep track of receipts to blatantly engage in corruption. I'm sure that was a minor inconvenience before.

And take away their free school meals and SNAP benefits. Keep 'em dumb and hungry and they'll be perfect little slave-cogs for the rest of their lives.

I love the correction:

An earlier version of this article said that Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) was the reimbursement program's top spender for 2023. That analysis was based on data released by the House as of last week. But additional data The Post reviewed Tuesday showed that Rep. Jack Bergman (R-Mich.) was reimbursed for more than Gaetz was. This article has been updated.

Rep. Gaetz tried to spend the most but his “policy meetings” with the Woodrow Wilson High School dance team just couldn’t compete with whatever the hell Rep. Jack Bergman was expensing.

Matt Gaetz being like, “No, I don’t have a receipt. It was 2am and I needed to order a bottle of Pineapple Malibu and chicken nuggets for my chief advisors. I used Uber Eats but I don’t use my real email or number for that shit.”
