This is outrageous! There is supposedly no money for education, children etc. Republicans make huge cuts yet millions have been spent on a stupid witch-hunt Benghazi committee.
Most recently the findings of the Republican led House Intelligence Committee found NO evidence for many of the accusations hurled at President Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and other government officials.
Over 13 months the Benghazi Select Committee has spent more than $3,500,000, exceeding the budget of the entire House Intelligence Committee. This figure does not include significant expenditures made by the State Department and Defense Department to find and declassify material requested by the committee or the expense of witness travel
