The ARJIS Aspect

This is why America is ticked off. This and hundreds, if not thousands of other examples of wasted taxpayer money.

First, they take from us. Steal it from our paychecks. Then they BLOW IT!!

Pelosi and crew blew loads of money on their trip to the Climate Summit in Copenhagen. Why did they need such a huge delegation? Didn’t Obama and Michelle go as well, on different jets?

Pelosi, Congressional Delegation Take Heat For $1 Million Climate Summit Trip

Although the climate summit in Copenhagen took place in December, it has recently emerged that the large congressional delegation headed by Nancy Pelosi charged taxpayers some $1 million for the trip.

Newly filed congressional expense reports indicated that more than 150 people—including legislators, staff and even some family members—made the trip at a cost of $2,200 a day, CBS News reported.

Further CBS investigation found that 59 House and Senate staff flew commercial to the Danish capital, costing taxpayers $408,064, while the rest used three military jets, which cost $168,351 for the flight time.

This type of spending in the face of an escalating federal deficit and during a prolonged recession has spurred critics to question the judgment of the congressional leadership.
