This is Beyond Outrageous

I saw this on TV and even though I am aware crap like this goes on all the time, I think "how dare they, in times like this, actually how dare they in any time"
It dealt with United States Congressmen takeing elobrate vacations using thousands of tax dollars.
The artical was a interview with one Congressmen who just pisses you off with his lame explantion.
At the bottom is a LINK for you to look up your state and see where they have gone. I'm sure there are some mislabled to look like they're really it in your intrest. Right!! rolleyes
Anyway here is the link to take a look via Inside Edition's Congressional Travel Investigation.

Here's what the link looks like at the bottom of the interview transcript, I havn't looked yet at the site of Citizens Against Government Waste has to say or what they are doing but I'm going to check it out.

GET MAD! now GET MADDER!!!

 

I hate the way Politicians take the citizens money thinking they deserve it or their little peice won't matter since its coming from a massive pot.

One scam that was recently uncovered over here that alot of politicians were a party to was this.Due to the travelling involved between districts they were allowed a second home close to London which is paid for by the state,so they would have a modest home £200,000 or so in their constituency were they spend most of their time but buy a £1,000,000 property or similar close to London,the entire mortgage for the 'Mansion' being paid for by the taxpayer,its one of the only professions where the expense account can exceed their salary.

I feel you Darlene:-D Really annoying...

 

And yet exposing all this makes no difference what so ever. I took a look at Citizens Against Government Waste site, they offer a monthley news letter. No thanks, for me anyway it would simply give me a stroke with nothing ever changing. http://bestsmileys.com/angry1/12.gif

 

We are no longer a Republic of the people FOR the people....

 

Ahhh. Stuff like that is why it always amazes me that a lot of people, when faced with a problem or issue, have a knee-jerk reaction that the government needs to regulate or solve the problem. :confused

My internal thread post firewall is blinking, so that is as far as I think I will go in this post.:-D
