Thanks to CBS News, here is a list of the names of the people who attended the Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen. It cost you and me Dear Reader, 1.1 Million Dollars; some Congress sitters spent $2,200 a day! These people have no idea that we are in a recession or they would not have gone -- RIIIIGHT.
This list does not include the more than 60 people who accompanied President Obama; how much more did that cost? Despite the dulcet tones that we will hear on Wednesday evening as the President delivers the State of the Union Address, his words will all ring hollow in view of the behaviour of these people and the money they are wasting.

We should call for an end to this kind of extravagance and waste.
In times like this, shouldn't our government be trying to save money?
Personally, I want my money back.
