If you got the money honey



If you got the money I've got the time seems to be Nancy Pelosi’s theme song for you and I the taxpayer. last year along, she,her staff and family cost you and i a very scary sum in air travel alone, The Speaker’s military travel cost us the taxpayer $2,100,744.59 over a two-year period — $101,429.14 for in-flight expenses, including food and alcohol. OK i want to stop here for a min or two I don't know about the rest of you but i don't have a income of $2,100,744.59 much less a food and alcohol budget of $101,429.14 .( that's a hella lot of booze.)

here are a few example of where Nancy spend the money.

Pelosi used Air Force aircraft to travel back to her district at an average cost of $28,210.51 per flight. The average cost of an international congressional delegation (CODEL) is $228,563.33. Of the 103 Pelosi-led CODELs, 31 trips included members of the House Speaker’s family. ( in other words she took them on vacation on our dine.) Tell me why Ms.Pelosi can't take her own private jet and pay for it herself.

One CODEL traveling from Washington, D.C. through Tel Aviv, Israel to Baghdad, Iraq from May 15-20, 2008, “to discuss matters of mutual concern with government leaders” included members of Congress and their spouses and cost $17,931 per hour in aircraft alone. Purchases for the CODEL included: Johnny Walker Red scotch, Grey Goose vodka, E&J brandy, Bailey’s Irish Crème, Maker’s Mark whiskey, Courvoisier cognac, Bacardi Light rum, Jim Beam whiskey, Beefeater gin, Dewars scotch, Bombay Sapphire gin, Jack Daniels whiskey, Corona beer and several bottles of wine.( I'm thinking maybe just maybe Ms.Pelosi might have a drinking problem.)
According to a “Memo for Record” from a CODEL March 29 – April 7, 2007, that involved a stop in Israel, “CODEL could only bring Kosher items into the Hotel. Kosher alcohol for mixing beverages in the Delegation room was purchased on the local economy i.e. Bourbon, Whiskey, Scotch, Vodka, Gin, Triple Sec, Tequila, etc.”( once more anybody seeing a patten here.)

I'm thinking that Pelosi clearly believes she deserves special treatment at taxpayer expense. This message comes across loud and clear in the disrespect she has demonstrated towards the American taxpayer. But we can all hope and pray that very soon we can tell her good bye as well as a few others
