"WASHINGTON — The day President Donald Trump proposed deep cuts to government programs, 10 of the most passionate, relentless budget-cutters in Congress gathered to talk about how to promote government austerity. At The Breakers, the ultra-plush Palm Beach, Fla., resort."
"The Republican congressmen stayed in hotel rooms marked down to $495 from the customary $810 nightly rate. Several brought along their spouses. They participated in panel discussions for several hours, but many stayed through the weekend at the oceanfront resort that promises “unapologetic luxury, seaside glamour and world-class service.”
"Picking up the tab for the congressmen’s travel, lodging and food was the conservative Club for Growth, which has been unsparing in pushing for a leaner government."
