Fiscal responsibility? Belt tightening? Real America?
"A POLITICO analysis of expenses found that compared with 2005, the last comparable year preceding a midterm election, the committee’s payments for charter flights doubled; the number of sedan contractors tripled, and meal expenses jumped from $306,000 to $599,000. [...] When [Michael]Steele took over the chairmanship last winter, he inherited a $23 million surplus. Since then, the former Maryland lieutenant governor has raised $10 million less than the party collected in 2005 and has spent $10 million more. By the end of 2009, the committee’s surplus had shrunk to $8.4 million, according to campaign finance reports."
It's just like a Republican to blow someone else's money while doing half the job they should be. Republican donors are pissed. Great news for Democrats are midterm elections are nearing.
