Why are we paying for Congress’s laundry?


Earl Glynn has a fascinating look at congressional expenditures that taxpayers are paying for.

Guam’s Delegate, for example, had all of us pick up $6,090.00 in food expenditures in Guam. Madeleine Bordalio may have no vote in Congress, but she can stick it to the taxpayers nonetheless.

There’s also an $8.80 laundry bill taxpayers paid for and a whole lot more. Most interesting to me is that the Guam Delegate who has no vote and is only there because we took Guam from Spain in a war over a century ago and wanted to be kind has billed the taxpayers for more than any of the guys who can actually vote.

That $8.80 is perfectly justified, it’s what it cost Harry Reid to get the smell of all the tourists out of his clothing.

 

If she has not vote...

she’s not a member of Congress. The title is misleading. Although the content is truthfully upsetting.

 

They are taking us to the cleaners

They pass the bills and we get stuck with the bills.
