That is what Congressmen and Senators do.  Many spend more than that, to get  a job that pays a miserly $300,000 for life with medical care and free gas.

And all of the Congress is made up of lawyers that don't even know, half the time, what laws they are signing into place, or what pork is included unless it's their own.

Now they want to force the middle and lower classes to stop driving their cars.  They will price gas to the point where a lot of people won't be able to affford to drive to a job.

We are staring possible riots in the face on this one.  And then they raise the price again by refusing to drill for oil.  74% of the voters want us to drill for oil in the US NOW.  And Congress refuses to do so to acommodate their special interest groups, leftist environmentalist.
