editorial #3-http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/mar/14/pocket-money-for-politicians/

this article is called "pocket money for politicians" by the washington Times. its about how congressional member's don't fully understand what the average american has to go through daily to earn a living, especially considering the recession the US has been going through. the government is being irresponsible and spending taxpayer money frugally. lawmakers misuse public funds for private reasons. they rack up thousands of dollars on government credit cards but still they talk as if they can relate to the public.

I think that this editorial is right. not only about lawmakers though but many political figures, especially presidents. you hear in their speeches that they talk about relating to the public but alot of them came from wealth so they really cant relate to the average american. lawmakers dont have to struggle with paying off bills and saving money for things because they get alot of their expenses paid for. It amazes me what hard working citizen's tax dollars really go to sometimes.
