He was the only Congressman who didn't use the allotted money for a D.C. Residence. He slept on a cot in his office and used the shower in the House gym. Considering how much largesse the Congress allots itself from our money, I'd say that's the politician you want managing the budget.

I always liked when he had some poor Gov rep. who got thrown under the bus to be the one to face Congress and he'd start with the most basic of foundation questions and they'd be afraid to say the obvious answer, and he'd be real nice and say "the answer is yes, it's not a trick".
