| Smiling Democrats Flee Texas |
Texas House Democrats have fled the state of Texas to deny the Legislature the ability to form a quorum and pass the election reform bill, or as most Texans think of it, the "Election Fraud Prevention Act." Now we've started seeing plees for donations to help pay the cost of keeping our escaped legislators safely tucked away in Washington at the Plaza Hotel and dining in the finer DC restaurants. These are the representatives of the party of the poor and the working man. As a poor working man, I'd kind of like to see our Democrat saviors do DC the way a "working" man would.
Instead of the $189 a night Washington Plaza, perhaps the runaway Dems should move on over to the Econo-Lodge or the Dew Drop Inn. I hear their rooms go for $35 a night or less if you get two queen-sized beds and everyone doubles up (4 to a room). And they give you a free fly swatter and BYOB rat traps (bring your own bait). Four Democrats for $35 a night works out to $8.75 each or $446.25 for the whole batch per night. Right now they are staying at the Plaza at a grand total of $9,639 per night and drawing $221 per diem or $11,271 to feed and bed down the bunch of them. We could give them a generous $50 a day in McDonald's and Jack-in-the Box coupons and that would reduce the costs to a still-hefty $2,550 per day.
So the current plan runs $20,910 per day.
My proposed "Econo Plan" runs $2,996.25 (a savings of $17,913).
If they stay in Washington just 10 days, that's a savings of $179,913 for the vacation stay in DC for those hard-working Democrat leaders. Now that's real money. Now that would make a real dent in my part in the $28,000,000,000,000 national debt! AndI bet I could get them a deal on the plane fare home via Valu-Air through Priceline.com. More money saved.
