You moan about $151,000 while your "buddy" Obama saw fit to endorse an "unfathomable "amount of spending during his eight year reign. How can you compare that measly amount to the information MartiniMan provided recently about the abusive spending under Obama? For further emphasis I think it is worth repeating one main point from MartiniMan's post(Obama presided over 3% of the entire history of this country but added 36% to the debt). Obama found it "easy" to spend someone else's money while we as "ordinary" citizens must spend within our "income" or we will go "bankrupt". It would be a "blesssing" if we could ever get enough level headed people in Congress to understand that the same "rules" that apply to each individual citizen should also apply to Congress( a Balanced Budge).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Since you are so concerned about how "our" money is being spent by Congress, can you provide your evaluation of the "vacation" Senator Menendez alongwith 30 Democratic lawmakers and 109 lobbyists and corporate executives flew in a chartered plane to Puerto Rico during the "shutdown", staying at a "seaside" resort where rooms average $429.00 a night. All of this "wining and dining" taking place while thousands of federal workers are not getting paychecks during the "shutdown". Really a display of "caring for your fellow man" or you might say "thumbiing your nose" at them. This is just another example where our "federal government" has reached the point where it is "out of control".
