Why is there a 70% increase in travel expenses for Congress from 2005 - 2008?

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB126092430041092995...

Especially with the economy and peoples financial lives in such ruins, what kind of leaders would so carelessly waste so much? What kind of people are these? What changed in Congress that they have to spend so much of our money for no good cause between '05 and '08?
