Apparently not. And that’s bad news for congressmen like Iowa Dem Bruce Braley, who revealed the worst casualty yet of the Obama/Reid Shutdown:

Transcript:
“There’s hardly anybody working down there. There’s no towel service, and so we’re doing our own laundry down there. And we pay a fee to belong to the House gym! So, you know, this is no different than if you’re working at an employer that offers a wellness program. You pay a fee to belong. That’s what we do there.”

@kesgardner Don't cry too hard – there are no towels to wipe away your tears.

Heh.

Parting perspective:
Awwww, @BruceBraley doesn't have towels at the gym? My husband & I are losing our health insurance.

Yep. The government is also withholding death benefits from the families of fallen troops. Will Rep. Braley cry for them?
