End Congress’ Death Gratuity

House of Representatives logoIn addition to whatever else the House jammed into last-minute legislation that would (barely) keep the government open, the House voted this morning to give a $174,000 gift to the widow of Sen. Frank Lautenberg. While we join Vice President Biden in offering our condolences to Mrs. Lautenberg and her family, why is the government throwing money at a multimillionaire? Sen. Lautenberg’s assets exceeded $57 million in 2011. How is this a top funding priority?
