Perhaps seeking a salty dip in the Dead Sea to end a stressful debt debate, nearly one in five members of the House in Representatives will use their summer recess period to visit Israel, The Jerusalem Post reports.
Of the 81 heading over, 55 are Republicans and 26 are Democrats, The Post reports. Half of the freshmen Republican reps - 47 of them - make up that group, and many of them will be visiting Israel for the first time.
Among the Democrats heading over is Illinois Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr., who will be there for an eight-day visit, the Associated Press reports.
Perhaps they will hear the voice of God and come back home to perform a miracle -- end deficit spending and pay down the debt.
ReplyDeleteIf only...
this trip will cause us to raise the debt ceiling again!
ReplyDeleteWho is paying for this? Aren't those 47 freshman GOP Tea Partiers all about not spending taxpayer money on useless things?
ReplyDeleteThis is not ANOTHER example of a GOP double-standard is it?

ReplyDeleteThis is about your inability to stop the govt... Period!!!
The problem is people are to scared to take on the govt and to rise up... You allow yourself to be scared based on fiction instead of fact...
The govt will and always have done this... You can't change that...
How is it were broke as a nation yet, there sending 100mil to Somalia to fight hunger... Get a freaking clue... didn't we already have a war there over this shit?
I'm certain they are looking and arranging for safe houses to retreat to while our Country death spirals into chaos...
ReplyDeletehmmm alot of bombing and shooting going on over there...
ReplyDeletejust an observation.
Meet those slimy thieves at the airport and "ask" for their resignation....give 'em a chance to do so gracefully. Then get the rope out. These retards just got done telling us how badly we are in debt and they do THIS? When so many Americans can't afford a vacation in Myrtle Beach or evena have a job WITH vacation benefits??! Goes to show ya --- they don't really give a crap what we think.
ReplyDeleteThey’re going to Israel because prostitution is legal there and also there is a full nude strip club on every block. Have you seen the beautiful girls there?!? It is Heaven on earth!
ReplyDeleteThey are going to Israel to get instructions on how to vote this fall. Israel runs our government and everyone in Israel knows it.
ReplyDeleteIt is we stupid Americans who don't know the truth
