The creator of Dilbert, Scott Adams, always has a knack for hitting the nail on the head. When the Detroit auto makers went to Washington the first time I became extremely annoyed. Not because they were asking for money but because the fact that they took their jets became a focusing point for the politicians. Then when the big bank executives went to Washington it seemed as though asking about corporate jets and helicopters was standard fare. As far as I’m concerned politicians are the last people to criticize about frivolous expenditures. When the government shows a deficit they generally cut services or increase txes but you never hear them cut out their personal perks. I wonder if Pelosi will ever have to answer to someone about her trip to Italy?

Who thinks polticians should be cutting their personal budgets before they cut public services ?
