Well, at least they aren’t going to Las Vegas. Obama will be pleased.
The gall of these people. Half the country is on food stamps and they are enjoying an all-expense paid vacation to Hawaii. How do we stop these people???

“The Democratic committee staffers used taxpayer funding to travel to Hawaii a full week before their committees hearing date.”
“[Committee staff] deferred all questions to the committees press staff, which is already, in its entirety, in Maui.
No one among the press staff in Maui has returned the TheDCs phone calls for comment.”

BTW: Drudge has it in left column with this headline:
REPORT: Taxpayers fly Congress staffers to Hawaii...

How do you say “junket” in Hawaiian?
Probably “aloha”.

Unless I'm missing something here, I can't think of any state less relevant to the subject of Indian Affairs than Hawaii. What exactly is the American Indian population of Hawaii?
Well, no one ever accused today's Washington Democrats of being logical, nor of being responsible about spending taxpayer dollars on themselves.

Are Hawaiians American Indians, or South Sea Islanders?

Native Hawaiians are not considered to be American Indians. Offhand, I don't know how they would be classified for US Census data.
To: justiceseeker93; Eleutheria5
Native Hawaiians aren’t Indians but the committee deals with them too.
The only apparent reason the hearing is being held there is that’s where his majesty chairman Akaka will be holding court.
Article says he’ll be the only Senator there. I never heard of a hearing with just one Senator. What Akaka will be talking to himself about is unknown.
All sounds really ridiculous.
