That's what democrats are best at, fumbling with budgets and getting nothing done. While Pelosi was spending eleven grand a day, she was also talking about poverty in this country and how it needs to be stopped. Yet out of the ten poorest cities in the United States in the last 40 years, 92% of the time a democrat has been in power. So instead maybe she should have been talking about how democrats need to be stopped.
There's a easy way to solve this kind of overspending, limit the amount of money a leader can spend. Cap Pelosi's tax payer funded dollars at a certain level and if she goes over, she can pay for it. Cap the amount of staffers she can have to 35, if she wants more she can pay for them. Simple measures like that can save millions.
However the spending in Washington is on both sides of the aisle. Majority leader John Boehner (R-OH) has increased spending 23% over what Pelosi spent last year in the same position.
It must have been that difficult transition that caused Boehner to spend more.
Politicians just don't think the American people are watching. They know the information is public but they simply believe that most citizens just don't pay attention.
And they're right.
We all know spending is out of control. But we keep electing people that say they're going to fix it, and then don't. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. The American people have been fooled more than twice, it's time for us to wake up.
Most of the politicians in Washington are dirty, they simply want to keep their job and they'll do anything to make sure that happens. However the people of this country need to stand up and do something about those buffoons. Vote them out of office.
The problem is, the American people don't pay attention, they don't care. They're more concerned with what celebrity is in rehab this week than with what politician is abusing their money. We need to get outraged, we need to fight back. If enough support is gathered to change the out-of-control spending then something might actually take a turn for the better.
This is YOUR money that bureaucrats are wasting, don't let them do it anymore. At the same time we need to send a message to the politicians to start using tax dollars for what they were intended for, to better the country. We can't portray this as one groups fault, we're all at fault, we elected them.
The entire country needs to wake up and smell the roses.
Which shouldn't be to hard, I believe Nancy Pelosi just planted $16,000 worth of them.
