Report: Puerto Rico delegate top spender in House | |||||||||||||||||||||
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) -- Puerto Rico's nonvoting congressional delegate was the biggest spender last year in the U.S. House of Representatives, a nonpartisan foundation says. Pedro Pierluisi claimed $2.1 million in expenses, topping House Speaker Nancy Pelosi by $257,000, according to a report issued Monday by the Sunlight Foundation, which promotes government transparency. The report said Pierluisi spent almost $1.2 million to pay his staff, nearly $174,000 on printing and reproduction, and more than $59,000 on travel. Congressional representatives' expenses are picked up by U.S. taxpayers. Dennise Perez, Pierluisi's spokeswoman, said Tuesday that the costs reflect that the Pierluisi represents nearly 4 million constituents in the U.S. territory, several times more than are found in any U.S. congressional district. She also noted that air travel is the only option when Pierluisi visits the Caribbea island, about 1,550 miles (2,500 kilometers) from Washington. Perez said about 2 million copies of Pierluisi's newsletter are printed and distributed at least three times a year, and it is the only means of written mass communication he uses. |

DEATH BY GOVERNMENT: GENOCIDE AND MASS MURDER
All told, governments killed more than 262 million people in the 20th century outside of wars, according to University of Hawaii political science professor R.J. Rummel. Just to give perspective on this incredible murder by government, if all these bodies were laid head to toe, with the average height being 5', then they would circle the earth ten times. Also, this democide murdered 6 times more people than died in combat in all the foreign and internal wars of the century. Finally, given popular estimates of the dead in a major nuclear war, this total democide is as though such a war did occur, but with its dead spread over a century
