Diva Pelosi and the 'little people's money'

Democratic Speaker, Nancy Pelosi has morphed herself into a caricature. She is now little more than a cross between Marie Antoinette and Leona Helmsley.

We all read of her diva demands with regards to travel. She is known to have her staff order the military to provide her with free commuter service between Washington and San Francisco on weekends. She likes to take her family and friends on these jaunts as well. All on the taxpayers dime.

Former Speaker, Dennis Hastert used to go to his district as well. He used a small jet.

For Nancy, that would never do. She demands the military provide her with a Boeing 757 with an executive layout. Her staff will call and force the military to have the plane on standby. She may or may not actually show up to use it. As with most members of the Democratic caucus, the mindset is that is not their money. So cost in financial or human capital is of no consequence. Recession be damned!! Such concerns are reserved for the "little people".

The cost for her roundtrip is in excess of $100,000. That is not her problem, so do not bother her with trivial matters.

Meanwhile, our service members are left in a lurch with their own plans on hold. Will she show or won't she? Will she be in a good mood or her typical Leona Helmsley persona arrive?

Apparently the luxurious 757 is not able to keep pace with her expanding ego.

Congress has now ordered three new Gulfstream 550 Executive Series aircraft. These are to be configured for, well, royalty. Fit for a queen. These cost $65 million a piece.

They will allow her to travel nonstop from Washington to Dubai, UAE. Not sure how often it is necessary for her to go that far.

Coming from a woman, who together with the President Obama is on track to spend nearly 4 trillion in one year, this should be no surprise. Did I mention they have to borrow the bulk of what they are irresponsibly spending?

Our nation has never seen the kind of reckless spending. Every so often we put the Democrats back in office. Then we remember why we vote them back out. This group in power are sorely out of touch with us actual Americans.

This a prime example of 'Diva's Gone Wild'.
