That era (Pelosi,etc.) was a nightmare of logistics with even some Democrats leaving their posts in places like Milwaukee and travelling to other states so as not to be available for the Republican Governor to send the state police to their homes to round them up and make them come back to the jobs that the taxpayers were paying them to do.

I do a lot of reading and lately I have been learning about how our government is getting bigger and more out of control. In short, it is running away from us, but not until it has taken more than an extra large bite out of our hard earned tax dollars. It’s really not the government that is running away, it is the politicos who are distancing themselves from those of us who put those slick wizards into their plush and lucrative offices.

 

Back in Colonial days when our nation’s founders were burning the midnight oil (that’s true as electricity wasn’t invented until one of them, Ben Franklin was flying his kite one day and got struck by a bolt on lightning); they talked about how to make a better government than the one they had just left in England under the tyranny of King George III. Taxes were out of sight and the same rulers prevailed from the day they were born until they passed away and then their eldest offspring stepped up and took over to keep up the not-so-good-work.

 

These trusty and tireless souls put together, first in 1775, a Declaration of Independence to let the King know that they and all the others over here with them had decided that they were not going to pay any more taxes to England as they were going to become a country of their own making. Then next, on July 4, 1776, they made it official and dared the Brits to do something about it; which they did, and the Revolutionary War was on.

 

As you know, we won that one and so we set about forming a Constitution. Back then our government, much like the ones today, didn’t work too fast and the Constitution was ratified by the people’s representatives in September, 1787. Of course, considering the conditions at the time, with no telephones, television, planes, trains or busses and horse and buggy major transportation, they could be excused.

 

I’ll let the current bunch of slugs explain why it takes so much time for a state’s representative to get to Washington to go to work. Nancy Pelosi might be a good one to ask and while you’re at it, ask her to explain why she needed a huge military aircraft with a 200 person seating capacity to fly back and forth to California when she was Speaker of the House for (thank God) a short time.

 

That era (Pelosi,etc.) was a nightmare of logistics with even some Democrats leaving their posts in places like Milwaukee and travelling to other states so as not to be available for the Republican Governor to send the state police to their homes to round them up and make them come back to the jobs that the taxpayers were paying them to do. And they got away with it! Absolutely nothing was done to censure or reprimand their abominable conduct.

 

So you see why I said it wasn’t the fact of the government running away, but the politicos who were doing the running. Now not all of them physically ran out of state during business hours; no, some of them sat in deliberative sessions with their laptops open exchanging text messages with other solons (and most likely non-politicos as well) or openly playing games which were being videoed or the target of reporter’s cameras.

 

It must be an endemic characteristic to liberal Democrats to be so driven to be driven by military airplanes to and from their homes to Washington, DC and we have recently been advised that another one of them, also from the wild and crazy state of California has been bitten by the same taxpayer spending bug that Madame Pelosi seriously foisted on the public coffers in quest of personal comfort.

 

The difference between Pelosi and this newest one is that he does not hold a political office now, but he is an appointee of our liberal Democrat usurper President O-big pockets-Bama. It is that profligate official’s newly appointed Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta who is now making life miserable for the military both at work and then having to fly him out to California when he goes home. Which he has done 27 times since being appointed SecDef in July of 2011.

 

Any way you slice it, that’s a whole lot taxpayer dollars being blown out into space from those powerful jet engines that he uses. And Obama wants to cut the military budget?
