CA: Cut services, but not luxury rides! (politicians, election, elect)

[BentBow]

Government officials in California are given luxury cars by the State.

They are looking to cut all kinds of programs for the citizens, but the elite lawmakers, would never give up their State bought 2011 Caddy.

Ya they slam me for hearing the news and making a post about it.

Some of the stuff I hear on the news is so new, there are no links, easily found.


I was looking for it.

Thanks!!!




You think `ol Jerry will give up his ride, when he takes office? Or will he too, feel entitled?

This happens everywhere in the country to some degree & happens all the time.

Our politicians will cut programs of any kind without a single thought as to WHO it effects, as long as it is not themselves.

Most people want to believe that those they vote for, who are elected will be honest & fair, but the truth is, there is a whole different set of rules for them, or at least thats what they think.

Politicians forget so quickly when they get into office, just WHO it was that put them there.

I mean, who knew that State officials got luxury rides?

A company car is one thing, but a $55,000 Caddy or Lexus?

I was thinking Smart-Car, to share.



Cali, is the only State that provides it's officials with vehicles of their choice. WOW!!!

They only need and court Americans when election time comes around.
Sadly too many sheeple don't realize that yet.

As evidenced by Mr. Rangel...

"...the censured Democrat made a startling admission: “I don’t deal in average American citizens.”

The OP article says there people have to pay the difference if they want a luxury car. It's still a deal, but they did name the two with the most expensive cars and point that fact out.
