REPORT: Congressional Travel Spending Rises 50% Under Dem Control
Matt Rooney | July 2, 2009
A 16-year old high school girl, armed with her parents' VISA credit card, possesses more fiscal restraint than the congressional Democratic caucus wielding your money:
"The spending on overseas travel is up almost tenfold since 1995, and has nearly tripled since 2001, according to the Journal analysis of 60,000 travel records. Hundreds of lawmakers traveled overseas in 2008 at a cost of about $13 million. That's a 50% jump since Democrats took control of Congress two years ago. The cost of so-called congressional delegations, known among lawmakers as "codels," has risen nearly 70% since 2005, when an influence-peddling scandal led to a ban on travel funded by lobbyists, according to the data"
Okay. So the money is at least being spent on legitimate diplomatic or fact-finding missions... right?
WRONG:
"In mid-June, Sen. Daniel Inouye (D., Hawaii) led a group of a half-dozen senators and their spouses on a four-day trip to France for the biennial Paris Air Show. An itinerary for the event shows that lawmakers flew on the Air Force's version of the Boeing 737, which costs $5,700 an hour to operate. They stayed at the Intercontinental Paris Le Grand Hotel, which advertises rooms from $460 a night. The lawmakers were invited to a dinner party at the U.S. Embassy and had cocktails at a private party at the Eiffel Tower. Mr. Inouye attended a dinner sponsored by the Aerospace Industries Association, a U.S. trade group. Another senator on the trip, Alabama Republican Sen. Richard Shelby, took a cruise on the River Seine with defense-industry executives and elected officials from Alabama, Mississippi and Florida."
US Congress World’s most Elite US Corporation with questionable Employees
This is the world’s most Elite Corporation employing only 535 Employees catering to the needs of 300 million American’s daily needs. The employment is open to US Citizens only preferably whites. The salaries are not too great as compared to other Multinational Companies but the benefits, perks, physical security, long term pension benefits are envy to all Corporations around the world. Then these Employees have the opportunities to supplement their income by millions just by influence peddling in America and other countries that are also unparallel on this planet Earth.
Here is some raw data on the work ethics and personal life of these Employees:
** 117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses
** 84 were arrested for drunk driving last year
** 71 can not get a personal Credit Card due to bad credit
** 29 have been accused of spousal abuse
** 21 are currently defendants in lawsuits
** 19 have been accused of writing bad checks
** 14 have been arrested on drug related charges
** 8 have been arrested for shop lifting
** 3 have done time for assault
** 1 indicted for taking bribes & giving bribe in foreign country
**1 indicted for taking bribes from an oil company of the state he reprsent.
These 535 member group makes hundreds of new Laws each year designed to keep rest of 300 million American’s in line with no accountability to their own actions.
For more than 10 years they are presiding over and sadistically enjoying the miseries and sufferings of 13 million human lives that they call ILLEGAL ALIENS.
This is the official number given to the rest of us by them and it could be as high as 30 million Undocumented Residents. I refused to call a human being illegal alien.
Then they are presiding over the highest ever NATIONAL DEBT $11 Trillion in which every American’s share is over $48,000. 00.
Then they are presiding over the biggest current deficit of $1.8 trillion. Like drunken sailors they enjoy spending $3 for every $1 the rest of the 300 million Americans earn. There have created a debt of almost $60 trillion on Americans and driving this country for Economic Slavery under foreigners who have never wished good for America.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO TAKE BACK CONTROL OF YOUR BELOVED COUNTRY UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FROM THESE CRIMINALS?
