You may have noticed, along with many of us, that DC has become a haven for old-timers who have no real-world, public sector experience. They’re lifetime politicians with no idea how normal people live, work, struggle, etc. They have ridiculously bloated salaries, private tax-payer funded staffs, homes, offices, and vehicles. In fact, every time uncle Joe calls a lid on Thursday and goes home to Delaware for another long weekend it costs us tens of thousands of dollars. Marine One helicopters used by the president cost between $17,065 and $20,206 per hour. Air Force One’s operational costs are $177,843 per hour, and the total operating expenses for flights to Delaware were about $4 million! -Yahoo! Finance
But, Brandon isn’t the oldest, or most feeble member of the federal government. In between banned hair stylings and stocking her freezer with only the finest brands of gourmet ice cream, Nancy P. has racked up these impressive stats;
Date of Birth: March 26, 1940 (holy shit!)
Current Age (as of November 2023): 83 years (looks it)
Current House: House of Representatives (they only represent themselves)
Political Party: Democrat (obviously)
State: California (shit hole)
Years in Office: June 2, 1987 – Present (been in office since Dirty Dancing was #1 at the box office)
And back in 2010, when she was a spry 70 years old… Documents uncovered via a FOIA request show that Pelosi racked up over $101,000 of taxpayer dollars for “in-flight services.” -Business Insider
Since self-serving politicians will never pass mandatory retirement, or term limits… on themselves (why would they want to get off the gravy train?), we may need to find other retirement options for them…
