I believe Soc.Sec. gets government money...well actually it is the people's money but the fedgov. takes it and then considers it theirs...
Did you miss that part?
It's fine for companies that received TARP money to go flying off to Vegas in private jets?
His point was that the companies that were taking TARP help should have been tightening their belts, not continuing in their old profligate styles, until they paid their money back.

That's never "fine". But, since they are private companies and the government is supposedly trying to make them profitable again, aren't these toys meant to generate revenue by flying clients. Running a company is extremely stressful, regardless of whether you're bailed out or not.
Being a federal employee isn't a ticket to the "good life". Comrade Commissars were treated similarly in a former empire if I recall correctly, while the general population suffered. Since the federal government never makes any money, why do their employees need to be holed up under such posh conditions?
Should fedgov. employees be allowed to go to resorts on our dime?
Some retard excuse would be "the fine resort is helpful to clear the minds of these fine citizens to serve our national interest better, plus it stimulates the economy".
He was talking about companies that were receiving TARP MONEY!!!
Do they just forget to put that part in at Faux, or what?!!!!
Tarp money comes from who? Tax payers so its wrong for companys to take tax payers money and go for a conference but its ok for gov to take tax payers money and go for a conference.

No its not fine hence they didnt go and hence vegas and NV losing a lot of money.
So the Gov shouldnt be tighting their belts? They are in debt also you know.
Yes, since they and state employees too are going to do it anyway. Be realistic.
They put the trip out to competitive bidders and Phoenix was the lowest bidder and got the contract.
Why is it ok for gov to take taxpayer money and have a conference but a company cant take tax payer dollars and have a conference.
both are using tax payers dollars. Why is it ok for gov and not the company
