THE DAILY OUTRAGE: It’s kind of like a frequent flyer program

WHO: The United States Congress

WHAT: In 2009, the U.S. Congress spent nearly $15 million on foreign travel.

WHY IT’S AN OUTRAGE: Thanks to an obscure Korean War era law, the taxpayers covered the tab, not their office’s budget.

WHERE TO VENT: Call the U.S. Capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121.
