Congress Just Gave Itself Nearly 4 Billion For Expenses
- Text size
June 29, 2009
How sweet it is!
How would you like a job with a six figure salary and the ability to vote yourself an additional healthy chunk of taxpayer money to be used for "expenses?"
Need millions and millions each year to run your household?
Then become a member of the Congressional royalty and you too can wallow in the pork of nearly FOUR BILLION dollars to be used for "expenses."
$3.7 billion divided by 535 members of Congress works out to a sweet $6.9 MILLION for each one of our Congressional "princes" to spend on "expenses."
That’s one helluva lot of money for computers and printers…. and $400 dollar haircuts and custom made silk suits. Ever see one of your Congressional gas bags with a hair out of place or a rumpled suit while bloviating?
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
But in the Never-Never Land of Congress, no such horrors as belt-tightening will ever come to the floor, as this year’s legislative branch spending bill is SEVEN PERCENT HIGHER than last year’s.
Amendments that were offered up to cut this massive pork project were shot down quickly. How dare anyone try and make Congress face reality!
BOTOX addict Speaker of the House Pelosi is getting over FIVE MILLION for her "expenses."
Over 300 MILLION for employee tuition expenses. Which means you could hire your son or daughter, pay them a six figure salary to "work" and send them to school at the same time, and get the suckers… uh, I mean the taxpayers to pay for both in H.R. 2918.
Read thru this bill and you can see that Pelosi can easily double her expense money by picking up loose change from the committees she’s on and other artful dodges.
No wonder these jokers fight like cats and dogs to stay in office.
Who wouldn’t want a part-time job with a salary in seven figures?
Overall, the House bill totals about $3.7 billion — which is expected to increase to $4.7 billion when Senate items are added.

Almost all of the congress is a bunch of weak, loser, sold-out slaves
they are willfully ignorant, or purposely greedy, satanic, and great cowards who only care for themselves
THEY ARE NOT OUR REPRESENTATIVES – THE REPUBLIC IS DEAD
if you don’t agree with this, then you really must be living on the moon, not Earth
keep on spreading the truth, maybe enough people will wake up so one day soon we can have mass protests and overthrow the chains of oppression that have been upon us increasingly all our lives
And if we never do throw them off in our lifetimes, at least our efforts will count as good deeds and bring us closer to God and achieving Paradise
Peace to all monotheists who believe in the Hereafter and do good deeds

Stop wasting money paying their wages, they spend 90% on whores, prostitutes, drugs, publicity, and the other 10 % they just waste.

My guess is that these ridiculous expenses and taxes expected from non working America will be the driving force into the unified world system. It’s the only way the bill can be paid for, to make everyone pay off the U.S. debt for the good of the world banking system. It’s how USA is going to be forced into the system and making other countries start paying up as well.

I don’t know where my post went and within seconds it was gone… I had said it is my guess that these ridiculous raises and taxes will be the driving force for the USA to enter the one world banking system. I’m guessing that the huge debts will be paid by the world government taxes (meaning all the countries paying the tax for our debt in order to make the world system balanced) and then we are endebted to the nwo banking. Doesn’t it sound good to have everyone else help pay our debt? I think that’s how it’s going to be engaged. Otherwise, it makes no sense to keep putting debt on the backs of Americans who can’t even barely pay their own bills.

I don’t think there’s a need to get so angry. This sort of corruption is widely institutionalised throughout the world. Be assured it will be used to garner votes for another politician, as it has to bring down the UK’s Labour party because they’ve been exploiting expenses loopholes. But this is no change, and everyone not in Congress will be annoyed about this; the public response will depend on how the media spins it.
This is a weakness. Spread the word, send letters, make emails, notify your representatives and your family – even the politicians involved will side with resistance to this bill IF they say the alternative as a threat to their career. So lets make these worldwide political animals and politically shapeshifting lobbyists accountable. Throw corruption charges in on Al Gore, Obama (specifially vested financial interests in Carbon Credits) and the wealth of incriminating evidence on the rest of the lobbyists while we’re at it. If it doesn’t get addressed, it’ll remain a chink in their armour, sheilded only by illusory distractions.

I continue to see more idiots doing the blame the Jews game. If you seriously think the Jews are running the show you have either not done any serious investigations, you simply are to stupid to do any meaningful investigation, or your just repeating someone else’s B.S. Yes there are Jewish bankers, but there not all Jews, and if you are serious about truth you’ll find there are a whole hell of a lot of Christians and other religious groups making it all possible. Unless your blind what we have today holding the world in tyranny is nothing more than an evolved version of the British Empire. Now some will call it the new world order. Some will call it the Anglo-American Empire. The truth of the matter, it’s a British Financial Empire which is absorbing nation states. We cannot even call it the Anglo-American British Empire simply because those elements within the U.S have no allegiance to the U.S and are agents of the British Financial Empire. If you cannot correctly identify the enemy than don’t expect to defeat it. The entire blame it all on Jews game has become a senseless cult of brain dead morons. Some of you sound as bad as Pro Think. Yes there are Jewish elements, but no it’s not a Jewish system.

This country is in dire need of a coup. Unfortunately, our current lack of a strong and productive psychological foundation will not succeed for very long in holding back more of these puppets, whose masters will continue to take advantage over the vast majority of us who are guilty of treating life like a waiting room for death and fail to sever the addiction to distractions such as to the sufferings and hardships of others, only so as not to deal will our own lack of satisfaction fueled by fear and laziness, and lack of imagination. But just as the global elite have an endgame, we can design one (or many) for ourselves.

Back on the Road to Bondage
A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largess of the public treasury. From that time on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the results that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s great civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence:
bondage to
spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to
great courage; from courage to
liberty; from liberty to
abundance; from abundance to
selfishness; from selfishness to
complacency; from complacency to
apathy; from apathy to
dependency; from dependency back again to
bondage.

Thats it I can’t stand these crooked theives ANYMORE! Every year when congress first convenes their very first order of business is to vote themselves a pay raise. This years congress had to bow out of such a vote because of the bailout uproar. And now in typical fashion they have found a backdoor around the problem. 7% percent higher this year makes up for their lack of a raise pretty nicely.
F#ck I had no idea the bastards had an expense account, I figured they just wrote it all of on their taxes at the end of the year……………………….Oh how silly of me thats right most of these a$$holes either cheat on their taxes or simply don’t pay them at all. I call for Mr. Paul to extend his audit the fed bill to include an audit of all national level public servants. And If you guys find this story amazing you should do some research on how our overseas ambassadors live, it is truly disgusting.
