Think about this: this group of politicians, names you wouldn't recognize, used our tax payer dollars on an unapproved, non budgeted trip in an effort to subvert their sworn duties. How many dollars are we talking? Let's do some back of the envelope, conservative math.
Number of Democrats: 58
Hotel/day: $150
Per diem: $60
Daily salary: $664 ($174K/yr)
Days AWOL: 21
In total this comes out to be ~$1.1M. The founding father's voices are growing louder as they call upon our American souls.
