Symbolic, much?  There was no mention of cutting Congressional salaries, just staff budgets.  Cut the war machine, John.  Oh that's right, you'd rather raise the retirement age for Social Security to 70 so that you can pay for 10 more years of war in Afghanistan.

Video - Where is John Boehner

The Founding Fathers went to Ohio, looking for John Boehner. They scoured the tanning salons, golf courses, and corn fields of Ohio's 8th District. But they couldn't find him anywhere. Ever since Rep. Boehner promised VIP access to any lobbyist who could bundle $100,000, it seems that none of his constituents have seen him around town either.

Personally if I had the money, I would pay twice that amount to see Congressman Boehner..... as long as he played an entire 18 holes with the chimp and his loaded AK. LOL!!!!

I know this is off the topic a bit and the picture wont post along with it. But it's related to the FEMA camps in New Orleans. A class action law suit.

Feds Join Whistleblower Lawsuit Over Katrina FEMA Fraud
By Sarah Pierce
 

(LEGAFI) -- The federal government has intervened in a whistleblower lawsuit that accuses a New Orleans construction company of creating fake inspection forms of FEMA trailers to cash in on a $28 million FEMA contract it received after Hurricane Katrina.

A former employee alleges in the whistleblower lawsuit that Jacquet Construction Services, LLC and its owner, Carter Jacquet, violated the False Claims Act by instructing employees to create thousands of fake inspection forms so FEMA would pay for work they hadn’t performed. Carter Jacquet is alleged to have even offered bonuses to employees who forged the most forms.

Jacquet Construction Serves was awarded the FEMA contract for maintaining trailers occupied by victims of Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

“The Department of Justice is committed to recovering taxpayer money from unscrupulous contractors that take money that they didn’t earn,” U.S. Attorney Jim Letten said in a statement.

The False Claims Act allows individuals to sue on the government’s behalf if they know a company is defrauding the government. Under qui tam provisions of the FCA, whistleblowers can receive between 15 to 25 percent of any funds recovered through the lawsuit.
