> Speaker Pelosi Orders 3 More Deluxe Jets For Congress

What's really bad about this story is that the Air Force originally requested only ONE. But Congress took it upon itself to add two more at a cost of $132 Million, so as to fly these damned liberals around in even better jets they condemned more valuable corporate executives for flying around in.

To add further insult to this injury you can't tell from the legislation WHO inserted this provision into the bill. A hit-and-run against the taxpayers for a couple hundred million.

There is no level below which these Democrats won't sink.
