From Rockymountainpolitics.com:
According to an analysis done by Mike Soraghan in The Hill's Dec 12th issue, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has spent a whopping $3,003,048 from the Speaker's office account for 2007. That compares with the $1,846,406 spent in 2006 by her predecessor Dennis Hastert, or a 63% increase in expenditures.
One of the most interesting expenditures is $16,058 on flowers. According to the article, she credited most of the flower expenditures "for visits of foreign dignitaries".And we waste all that money on a Military and State Department.
