Unworthy Benefits For Our Politicians

  • Thursday, February 1, 2018

Why should GOP selects get to go on a retreat after the President’s State of the Union Address? 

Admittedly, I’m die hard right.  However, this select group of people, American royalty, needs to do their job, not party nor gloat after the President’s speech. 

I for one say get back on the train or take a bus and go back to work.  We the people don’t pay you Republicans or Democrats to party and go on retreats.  Making $174,000 per year?  Spend your own money.  

I'm sick and tired of these politicians on both sides of the isle.
