This morning after launching this new blog, Baron's Perspective under my equally new nom de plume, Christopher Baron I decided to dip into the literary well a second time in the same day. What pushed me over the edge was a news story that headlined the likes of Nancy Pelosi pissing away 57 grand (that's 57 thousand for you newer generation types) on a ten day trip to Europe.
There were several pundits who thought it is a good idea to have our Congressmen and women traveling abroad to get an idea as to how the rest of the world thinks and lives, so maybe a trip or two would be OK but how about economy lodging in these times of financial meltdown, cut the entourage to a minimum, dispense with the fanfare. I can't imagine what her excuse will be, maybe to cover her staffers and security staff---that won't work because any sane thinking American knows that these trips are nothing more than paid for vacations where nothing is accomplished other than the Congresswoman and her staff getting fat of European cooking and getting out of the country for as few days to avoid questions as to why they are destroying our future.
We've had it too good for too long and we as a nation have been lulled into a state where we believe the rants and ramblings of smooth talking politicians and their lies that they are working on our best behalf. Obama and his Socialist rangers will strip most of our important freedoms if allowed, wake up America.
Thanks for reading,
