Air Force Two & Nancy Pelosi Enjoying Taxpayers Money

I say we up the ante and give these people our soon to be de-commissioned space shuttles, then fly them to the moon.

...And leave them there. They can tax all they want, supress liberties all they want and won't even have to ban drilling for oil.

This is probably one of the most disgusting posts I've read on this forum.

I'm just no surprised anymore at all:

They want us all to be on this 3rd rate public health care option, but they won't give up their own AAA health care reserved for members of Congress.

They want us to all ride bikes and drive golf carts, but they buy more first class mega-jets.

They want us all to tighten our belts, but they go on $75,000 NYC date nights and do $350,000 flyover photo-ops.

The saddest aspect of all is how few people notice the hypocrisy...or care for that matter.

Okay, so show of hands: how many of you protesting this thought we should keep building all those useless F-22s because it would keep people employed, blah, blah, blah?

I have absolutely no issue with this if the planes are safer, more efficient to fly and are built in the U.S.A.

Unfortunately, the Speaker of the House has had access to a private jet since 9/11. This was made possible under the ruse that government must be able to function during a crisis, which apparently meant keeping the Speaker's ability to be mobile in case the Pres/VP get pounded on by terrorists. This is a Bush-era program that is being taking advantage of by Pelosi, regretfully.

Does this mean that she gets three new private aircraft? The "private jet" she had access to was in fact military. These three new aircraft are private.

Shouldn't she be setting a better example for us by cutting expenses and being less of a hypocrite?
