Default Lawmakers' Global-Warming Trip Hit Tourist Hot Spots
Why most of America struggles to get by, we continue to allow Congress to take very expensive trips on our dime... FYI there were 6 Dems and 4 Republicans on this trip.. 6 brought their spouses...

Lawmakers' Global-Warming Trip Hit Tourist Hot Spots - WSJ.com

Quote:
WASHINGTON -- When 10 members of Congress wanted to study climate change, they did more than just dip their toes into the subject: They went diving and snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef. They also rode a cable car through the Australian rain forest, visited a penguin rookery and flew to the South Pole.

The tab for two days in Australia was more than $50,000, according to the travel-disclosure form. According to the document, the lawmakers spent $32,000 on hotels and meals, $7,000 on transportation and $10,000 for "other purposes." As on all such oversees trips, each lawmaker gets a daily stipend of $350 for incidentals, according to the form.
