Where was the outrage when Bush was president? Can you say "Republicans don't care about spending your money"? When President Bush took office in 2000, the national debt was about $5.7 trillion dollars, which after two wars and lots of other spending, is now approaching $11 trillion. President Bush ran up more debt for this country than all previous presidents combined. From FactCheck.org: The Web site Judicial Watch has made public e-mails to and from the Department of Defense regarding Pelosi's travel requests. The conservative organization claims the e-mails show that Pelosi has made “unreasonable requests for military travel.” These e-mails, however, back up what we were told by Pelosi's staff and by the Air Force, i.e., that Pelosi did not usually travel on the C-32 and that any family members or other members of Congress she brought with her on flights to her home district were asked to reimburse the cost of a coach ticket. The messages are about smaller planes, not the 757-size jet. Also, most of the e-mails are not about shuttles to and from Pelosi's home district at all, but are about congressional delegations to other states and countries. Pelosi's office oversees transportation for these trips for all members of the House, not just the speaker. Mike Hackensack, NJ Why single out Pelosi?
