Nothing like flaunting government waste with a nice little trip to Maui for a vacation meeting.

Rick Manning from Americans for Limited Government, which first discovered the hearing, told TheDC it’s unbelievable that Hill staffers talking about fiscal responsibility would waste money on a trip to Maui.

“It’s outrageous that Senate Democrats have so little respect for the American taxpayer that in the same month they buried our credit rating, they’re heading to Hawaii to celebrate,” Manning said.

Link to any post celebrating such?
Maybe you didn't get the memo, but people are fed up with government shenanigans irrespective of party.

They are probably the same staffers that helped write the Obamacare legislation. They gotta reward them for all their hard work!

I'm just disgusted that the hardest working Americans in our society must pay for someone's else vacation while they themselves can't afford a vacation for their families.
