Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced today that it has obtained new documents from the United States Air Force detailing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s use of United States Air Force aircraft in 2010. According to the documents, obtained through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), Pelosi used Air Force aircraft for 43 flights from January 1 to October 1, 2010. According to documents previously uncovered by Judicial Watch, by comparison, Nancy Pelosi logged 47 flights in the prior nine-month period, April 1, 2009 to January 1, 2010.
What do you expect from a housewife who delivered drinks to her husbands best friends. Removal from office is long over due.. she is a typical, democratic free lorder. Dig deeper and you will find a very defined link to current terrosit activity in America..If America would only understand : “never under estimate the stupidity of the American People”.. Mark Twain.
Politicians should be paid several million dollars a year, but then they pay ALL of their own expenses out of that amount. If they can run efficiently and economically, then they can keep whatever amount is left. They can also live as high on the hog as they want until the money runs out.
They should also be under the same regulations as any business: Deduct taxes from paychecks, pay unemployment and other taxes, etc. This way they would have a good reason to make business laws as uncomplicated as possible.
I actually see more of a need for the House Speaker to have access to Military Aircraft then the Vice President. The VP, although he is President of the Senate (cannot vote unless to break a tie), he really serves no real constitutional role by traveling as a mouth piece of the Administration. The past few VPs have had too much of a public posture, they are not second in command, they have NO command role until they are either acting President or assume the Presidency. On the other hand, the Speaker of the House has a Constitutional role leading the “peoples house” and should be accorded many more abilities to travel.
That’s on a par with BO using Air Force One and all our collective nickels to run around the country campaigning. What a maroon!
The senate and the house does not expense travel. The secretaries call for trasportation and aircraft are assigned according to ranking position. The Speaker of the House does not needs only a regional trasportation type of plane. One must understantd that the house and senate member’s offices have a well defined protccol of loosing the the debit slip for transportaion. Palosi works 3 days a week in Washington,or so the press reports, yet she is payed for 5 days.. do you wish for that job. Thomas Jefferson wrote in is paper that the element of public serve was to serve the communities and people that elected you..I see no value in Palosi, Biden or the current administration representing any manner or form of what the founding Fathers of the County wanted. Palosi is in no manner of any form a Speaker of the House…when did a “cocktail waitress” ever reach this position other than through disception and corruption…Her visit to Isreal was a joke and a photo op gone bad.. History recalls that the SS had 13 divisions…look them up and compare them to TSA and home land security….smile
