Tax and Spend the Congressional Way

In spite of the fact that I worked on the Hill for several years, I did not know that when sexual harassment charges are brought against a Congressman, their lawyers are paid for with taxpayer money.  I understand how this could be abused, thus the need for such an arrangement.  But come on, where else in the world can there be such a deal?   While we are discussing budget and tax policy, maybe we can end this.
