Why Do We Allow This To Continue

>> Hey, $6 million to fly her home every year is just a drop in the
>> bucket on what they cost us. Congress is one of the biggest
>> "industries" that we have in the government. That's why their rating
>> is lower than our President, who always gets the blame for
>> Congressional spending. Not fair at all!!! Can you just imagine
>> what Congress would say if GWB flew to Texas every weekend!! They

>> Since she only works 3 days a week, this gas
>> guzzling jet gets fueled and she flies home to California,
>> cost to the taxpayers of about $60,000, one way!! As Joe

>> Folks,
>> that is $480,000 per month and that is an annual cost to the
>> taxpayers of $5,760,000!!! No wonder she complains about
>> the cost of this war, it might cramp her style and she is

>> I think of the military families in this country doing without
