A stumbled across an article describing what your congressman are doing with their "member representational account (MRAs), which pays the salaries of 18 full-time aides, travel, mass mailings, leased cars, bottled water, coffee and everything else a modern office needs."

Without further ado, lets examine your tax dollars at work:

• David Dreier (R-Calif.) - Over $5700 for plasma television.
• David Dreier (R-Calif.) - $1,338 on new rugs
• Mark Souder (R-Ind.) - Over $5700 for plasma television.
• John Murtha (D-Pa.) - Over $5700 for plasma television.

Well, there is even a congressman that uses his MRA account to purchase TiVO, so he can record himself. See the article for the gritty details.
