Both parties are guilty.
A draft email from the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) obtained by FOX Business, said the free [to staffers] memberships were a “premier employee benefit” and that all Capitol Police would also receive free memberships.
“A source familiar with the matter told FOX Business that the contract cost is a $10,000 upfront payment to Peloton, plus an extra $10 per month charge for each staffer or officer that utilizes the benefit,” FOX Business reported.
The report also noted that supply chain disruptions, which have been a problematic issue throughout the pandemic, have worsened with the Russian invasion in Ukraine and China going into lockdown again due to a rise in coronavirus cases.
“Energy prices, including gasoline, have gone up. Truck drivers, seaport slots and warehouse spaces are all in short supply, leading to costly delays and rising shipping rates for goods,” the report delineated. “Fewer workers are in the labor market, encouraging those who are working to demand raises. And low interest rates from the Federal Reserve have made borrowing cheaper, making big purchases more attractive.”

WTF?
About 12,300 government freeloaders would get both Peloton All-Access and a Peloton App membership while taxpayers would end up shelling out over $120,000 per month depending on the number of elites in government enroll.
“A source familiar with the matter told FOX Business that the contract cost is a $10,000 upfront payment to Peloton, plus an extra $10 per month charge for each staffer or officer that utilizes the benefit,” FOX Business reported.
“For other Americans, a Peloton All-Access Membership costs $39 per month and a Peloton App Membership costs $12.99 per month.”
WTF?
If these people need to get in shape, they need to do it at their own expense, not ours. This isn't a private company giving out employee perks; this is our government doling out taxpayer money without their employer's permission--us!

Peloton confirmed to FOX that the House of Representative was extending the Peloton Corporate Wellness offer to its staff starting next week. They certainly didn't tell the public this plan, and now that we know, what is their rationale?
The report generated backlash online where various media figures noted that the move shows how the government has their heads up their nether regions considering the myriad problems the country is facing with the incompetent leadership.

Desperate parents can't find baby formula – Congress has yet to take action…..BUT“Membership cost $10 per month but taxpayers could be funding up to 10k staffers per month,” sports reporter Lisa Horne tweeted. “Our government is completely tone deaf to what most Americans are facing right now.”
Lawmakers can now order liquor directly to their Capitol Hill offices
Lawmakers & staff will now have free access to the Peloton app

It isn't just about being tone deaf--they're acting like thieves. There is no reason staffers, who make significantly more income than the general public, should be given freebies that the rest of us pay for while we also pay their salaries.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that the Consumer Price Index increased 8.3% in April from a year ago, which is higher than the projected 8.1%, which also sucks, but not quite as much.
