>You are confused. I do not support the Iraq war. I do not support the expenditures there... My mistake. >You think it is worth for us to pay $15,000,000 a year for a speaker to fly home on weekends...wow, good thing you are not in charge of management. I am in charge of management, and my company is run pretty soundly. If you had to guess, including the plane, how much do you think we spend each year on the security of the Speaker of the House? And how much do we spend on the security of the President (and his family) and the Vice President (and his family)? I'd guess quite a bit more. And I don't have a problem with that... it's in our country's interest to keep our leaders safe. $15,000,000 is 5 cents out of the pockets of every American. -Z
