The door to the bank vault that holds the ghosts of the American taxpayers’ money, that is.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi today “suggested” that yet another “rescue package” is going to be needed. How much more rescue is needed when Congress has yet to spend the $787 BILLION stimulus money and just signed the $410 BILLION 2009 budget into effect?
Must be getting a little more expensive to fly your family and friends around the country in military aircraft, eh, Nancy? Couldn’t be due to all those times you insisted the aircraft be there at your beck and call and then you didn’t bother to show up, could it? Couldn’t be because so many of your Congress critter pals, staff, and spouses – I counted 95 people authorized by you for travel – wanted to go to a funeral, could it?
So just why are we paying you $223,500 a year?
