Dems Blast 'Corporate Excess' While Soaking Taxpayers for Luxury Retreat

Posted By Bobby Eberle On February 6, 2009 at 7:23 am

Remember the fallout when the corporate executives came to Washington asking for money? Rather than saving money by flying commercial, they traveled in their corporate jets and asked Congress for a "helping hand." The move did not sit well with the public, and congressmen took the opportunity to blast the executives for "corporate excess."

Hypocrisy runs amok in Washington... we all know that. But the Democrats have now taken it to a new level. While they send down fire and brimstone against "evil" corporate executives for living the good life, they will soak the American taxpayers for a luxury retreat in Virginia that they are attending this weekend.

As the Associated Press notes in a story on GOPUSA <http://www.gopusa.com/news/2009/february/0206_luxury_re... > , "Members of Congress were quick to shame corporate executives for over-the-top extravagance during the economic crisis, flying private jets and taking luxury junkets. But some lawmakers are strolling fancy resorts spending tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars."

This weekend, Democrat House members are meeting at the Kingsmill Resort and Spa in Williamsburg, VA.



Having stayed at the Kingsmill resort last summer (at my own expense), I can say that the setting and amenities are definitely top notch. However, it's one thing for an individual or family to pay their own way, and it's quite another for the taxpayers to pick up the tab!

"Democrats spend taxpayer money on their retreat but do not permit lobbyists to accompany them. The public pays for a charter train from Washington to Williamsburg for many of the 200 members who attend, as well as conference rooms, security and catering."

Note that last month the Republicans attended a similar retreat, but NO taxpayer money was used.

"Lawmakers pay for their own transportation and room costs, roughly $190 per night, including food, according to one Republican who attended but spoke on condition of anonymity because details of the trip were not made public.

Meredith McGehee, policy director at the Campaign Legal Center, notes in a story running in The Hill <http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/500k-spent-on-dem-c... > that "when the economy is suffering and people are losing their jobs, members must be mindful to scale back and not use taxpayer dollars for luxury items."

"I actually think there is utility in meeting together once a year to concentrate on getting everyone to row their oars in the same direction," she said. "But how much money is spent this year and the scope of it and how many frills there are is important. It sends a message on how seriously members are taking the economic problems when people are being laid off left and right."

So, here we are. President Obama and the Democrats want to "stimulate" the economy by a massive spending bill closing on in $1 trillion, and, oh by the way, let's charge the taxpayers for our retreat as well. I'd say that makes no sense, but I'm talking about the Democrats.

thanks for your help.

 Get over it you lost. Supply side economics don't work They are not now nor did they ever create new jobs with their ill gotten gains.

Now until you actually start paying me that kind of money. Go cry me a f@#%ing river. You and your failed opinions aren't "putting food on my family."

We're well past debate and into wake the f@#% up land.

Supply side economics has nothing to do with forcing banks to lend ot people who would not normally 
 qualify for mortgages and other loans. How'd that idealistic concept work out for you guys? You screwed up the world economy because of it.

 :o  Wow, that had to hurt!!

Why do the most talented and gifted people in the universe always need help when debating with us knuckle draggers?

When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Nah, that'd be what the Brits call an "Own goal."

If the Canadian dave primitive is talking to Chris Dodd and Barney Frank, then he is 100% correct.

Hey Jukin, I want half of your H5, I was thinking the exact same thing!  If one is so sure of ones positions, as our good friends at DU are, they should be effortlessly defensible.  "Help" in a "debate" is cheating and quite lazy.  
Get a load of that response to the request.  Sure will make  Big_D95 a lot of friends at work, if he follows that advise!  Possibly get him into deep deep harrassment waters, if he includes all the F bombs.

Hi5, but to be honest, I think the ones that pose these questions at the DUmp, are having issues within themselves. I think they're the ones that'll soon be conservatives because it's at that moment, upon reading the e-mail, that liberalism no longer makes sense.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

Rebel, you might be right.  Or, at least blind-party-loyalty-at-all-costs make no sense.  Anything to get a liberal to think.   At any rate, I hope YOY's response left a bad taste.

When are the talented and gifted going to learn that these knuckledraggers are tar babies to be avoided?

And to learn that the stupidity of the knuckledraggers is incurable?
