Have you asked it yourself? What business does Pelosi have traipsing all over the world, costing the taxpayers millions of dollars? Name a country - she has probably been there, and on the taxpayer's dime. But why? What is her function?
She is a congressperson (1 of 435 representatives, or 535 people if you count the senate) who was elected by a relatively small number of people to represent THEM. She does not represent me, nor does she represent you if you're not in her district. Is it the function of a congressperson to travel the world at the people's expense? WHAT is she doing? What is the purpose of her visits? She is not an ambassador, she is not a negotiator. She is a congressperson from one out of hundreds of districts who represents a relatively small number of people. I never see anybody question these trips or the justification and authority behind them. It seems most Americans will put up with just about anything, without question.
Your lips to my ears. I have often wondered that myself. WTH do these people need to be traveling all over the world on our money. I have only 1 congressman that serves my district. This crap has to stop. These politicians take such advantage of these "free" trips/vacations on our dime all in the name of nothing.
