Subject: Being a Senator is Hard Work!
Bob Unruh of the
WorldNetDaily, reports that over the past two years, Nancy Pelosi
has billed the U.S. taxpayers over $101,000 just for in-flight food
and liquor! That's roughly $1,000 per week! And just how often
does she fly? Well, enough to rack up a total exceeding $2.1 million
in expenses for her use of Air Force One jets, which amounts to about
$20,200 per week.
Quoting Tom Fitton, the president of
Judicial Watch:
"Speaker Pelosi has a history of wasting taxpayer funds with
her boorish demands for military travel. And these documents
suggest the Speaker's congressional delegations are more about
partying than anything else."
Well, when you're one of the Ruling Elite, having to bear the
responsibility of micro-managing the lives of over 308 million people,
it can make you hungry — and thirsty!
And remember when the heads of the automotive companies flew to
Washington on their private jets and were roundly criticized by
Congress? Well, this is different, because those executives were
running failing businesses, while Pelosi is the head of a thriving
enterprise that has a mere $12
trillion debt (soon to be over
$14 trillion)
and an unfunded liability of well over
$100 trillion.
So, for having done such a swell job, I think we can all agree that
she's earned her perks. And if she's a teensy bit sanctimonious, well,
who can blame her? 'Cause being a senator is hard work!
