This is like the teenagers you had house sit while you are on vacation found your ATM card and the keys to the liquor cabinet.

The only ones who can clean up the mess in Washington are informed and concerned voters.

I for one would be willing to pick up the tab for any Congressman who wanted to take an extended....very extended vacation. It costs less for the American taxpayer than when they're working.

Maybe, if we are lucky, those travel destinations will keep them.

REPEAL the 17th Amendment and reinstate Article 1 Section 3 of the Constitution.
Congress is supposed to be an UNPAID part time Volunteer position.
Maybe the only way to bring the USofA back to its roots is a coup. How else to remove EVERYONE in the Federal Government and replace them according to the US Constitution?

Hundreds of lawmakers traveled overseas in 2008 at a cost of about $13 million. That’s a 50% jump since Democrats took control of Congress two years ago.

PIGS!!!!!!!!!! ALL OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep sending those tax dollars in so they can travel at our expense. This sh*t is out of control. Maybe I just won’t pay my estimated this quarter, or next quarter or the next and tell them to KMA.
