Your Tax Dollars At Work: Vegas Junket, Baby!!!

Where big kids go to play. (HT Michelle Malkin)



Here's an instance of what happeened in Vegas didn't stay in Vegas. From CBS4 - Denver:

"The CBS4 investigation learned that the Census administrators were flown to Las Vegas Aug. 24 and put up at the luxurious Treasure Island hotel and casino on the Las Vegas strip. Some of the managers stayed for two days, others stayed for three."

Looks like our money's going to Vegas against King Hussein's wishes. I wonder what's his take on this??

Speaking of King Hussein's check out this flashback from Michelle Malkin:

"Hey, remember when President Obama told Americans to stay away from Vegas…twice?

Flashback:

“When times are tough, you tighten your belts. You don’t go buying a boat when you’re trying to pay your mortgage. You don’t blow a bunch of cash on Vegas when you’re trying to save on college. You prioritize, you make tough choices.”

And:

… “You are not going to be able to give out these big bonuses until you pay taxpayers back. You can’t get corporate jets. You can’t go take a trip to Las Vegas or go down to the Super Bowl on the taxpayers’ dime.”

Census officials’ response: Yes, we can!"

Do you now understand why this country must get back to constitutional principles, and fast??
