PELOSI PARTIES ON TAXPAYERS’ TAB Food, Liquor on ‘Business’ Flights Cost Americans $101,000 (Bob Rinear is in EST)
After promising, once again, a government of transparency in his State of the Union address, President Obama may be wondering this week if he should’ve waited a few more days to bring it up.
Bob Rinear, founder of InvestYourself and publisher of the finance newsletter, Main Street Market Watch, is available for interviews to throw back the curtain on the travel habits of the Democrat’s current Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.
A recent dig into her expense reports, following two years of jet setting around the world on trips advertised as Congressional delegations, has brought to light a disparaging truth. While no one can really point to any diplomatic achievements in Pelosi’s excursions, they can point to food and alcohol receipts totaling $101,000.
Counting fuel, maintenance, personnel and other expenses, this taxpayer tab goes on to eclipse the $2 million mark—a number that Americans, says Rinear, would find corrupt and unacceptable in any economy, let alone one in which the U.S. is facing double-digit unemployment.
“The hypocrisy is outstanding, almost surreal,” says Rinear. “Sitting in her position as Speaker, Nancy Pelosi firmly pushes for widespread social agendas that will further bankrupt the country. Yet, as her own constituents continue to lose their jobs, see their homes erode in value and struggle to make ends meet, she acts like some queen, to be pampered with all the luxuries available to the elite of the world.”
Rinear adds, “Pandering to the lower classes via high-cost government programs, precisely as the U.S. struggles with the single largest debt load in the entire planet’s history, while she and her delegates party hearty, is the ultimate in hubris. Every American has the right to demand that this outrageous spending of taxpayer dollars stops immediately, and a public apology is mandatory.”
For a closer look at this as a microcosm of overall government spending, and the further implications these practices will have on the economy, call Special Guests to schedule an interview with Bob Rinear.

ABOUT ROBERT (BOB) RINEAR (pronounced reh-NEAR):
InvestYourself was founded in October 1997 by Robert Rinear, who owned several successful business ventures primarily in the jewelry industry. In fact, his introduction to the financial world began as the result of his experience timing the price of tangible assets, including gemstones, gold and silver, all on a daily basis—a talent critically needed to be successful in the jewelry industry.
As Bob Rinear saw the price of gold soaring in the late 1980s, he needed to find the causes of that move. What he found was intriguing. Political issues, global economics and even something as simple as the industrial output in Japan would move the price of tangible assets.
He needed to learn more.
As he became more “in tune” with the global economic process, he noticed that one of his best customers traded stocks and options on a daily basis. With Mr. Rinear’s views on the overall economic situation and “Charley’s” ability in picking stocks, they found a winning combination. But it still wasn't complete.
Once introduced to the intricacies of the equity markets, it didn’t take Mr. Rinear long to realize that he had a knack for predicting the everyday flows of the stock and options markets. He began to attend trading seminars and training camps with the desire to learn how to make profitable trades on a daily basis.
One thing became abundantly clear—none of the classes gave him the total picture about how to accomplish his goal. Something was still missing in regards to how to make a living by trading stocks and options. Likewise, he realized that not all opportunities came in just stocks and options. Sometimes it was a quick move in precious metals or Treasury bonds. Other times it may have been a move in a currency.
Not to be defeated, Mr. Rinear slowly developed his own trading style that began to produce profits. After taking what he learned from the seminars and injecting his own methods of calculating stock movements, options movements, currency, real estate and Treasury movements, a successful concept emerged. He expanded this trading concept into a workable platform that anyone could follow. That was the beginning of his newsletter “Market Insight & Outlook” (now the Financial Intelligence Report). From those first few issues it became clear that the public would benefit from his years of research. He decided to offer it to the masses.
From that humble beginning a company called “InvestYourself” was created. Its main goal is to help investors of every experience level gain the investing knowledge necessary to win in a tough game that includes enabling investors to grow in their knowledge of real estate, stocks, bonds and finances in general.
