"The expensive catering was truly a bipartisan effort, with leaders hosting their own members."


Now let's look at Congress expenses under Pelosi's rule!


The House's overall tab for 2009-2010



$2.6million spent on food and beverages for reps and their staffers


$298,734


Amount spent by the Democratic Party's largest offices $298,734--


the Democratic Caucus, the Office of the Majority Leader and the Office of the Majority Whip



Amount spent by the Republican Party's largest offices -- the Republican Conference, the Office of the Minority Leader and the Office of the Minority Whip $202,927



Add in Pelosi's "private jet" expenditures.



TAXPAYERS' $101,000 INCLUDES PELOSI'S IN-FLIGHT 'FOOD, BOOZE'


Speaker's trips 'are more about partying than anything else'



It reads like a dream order for a wild frat party: Maker’s Mark whiskey, Courvoisier cognac, Johnny Walker Red scotch, Grey Goose vodka, E&J brandy, Bailey’s Irish Crème, Bacardi Light rum, Jim Beam whiskey, Beefeater gin, Dewars scotch, Bombay Sapphire gin, Jack Daniels whiskey … and Corona beer.


But that single receipt makes up just part of the more than $101,000 taxpayers paid for “in-flight services” – including food and liquor, for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s trips on Air Force jets over the last two years. That’s almost $1,000 per week.


Documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act by Judicial Watch, which investigates and prosecutes government corruption, show Pelosi incurred expenses of some $2.1 million for her use of Air Force jets for travel over that time.


“Speaker Pelosi has a history of wasting taxpayer funds with her boorish demands for military travel,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said today. “And these documents suggest the Speaker’s congressional delegations are more about partying than anything else.”

HOW ABOUT THE GSA CONFERENCE FOR WASTE at the Las Vegas Conference, ($823,000) add in the $50,000 employees were paid for planning the conference!


IRS CONFERENCE SPENDING $50,000


AND THE BIGGEST WASTE IS THE $60,000,000 TO $100,000,000 THE OBAMAS WILL SPEND ON THEIR SUMMER FAMILY VACATION TO AFRICA.
