Taxpayers Fund Congressional “Vacations”
Congress is on a week long break. After all, members of Congress are tired from counseling, scolding and chastising corporate CEO’s for flying private jets to Washington to ask for the taxpayers money to bail them out. Then they had to spend the taxpayers money on an economic stimulus bill that was rushed through even before they had time to read it. So it only makes sense that while they’re on a roll they might as well spend some more of the taxpayers money and send themselves on fact-finding trips overseas.
It’s no wonder a politician will lie, cheat and wrangle their way into office and then want to stay. The perks that include worldwide travel, medical care and retirement on the backs of the taxpayers cannot be matched.
