re: The position should not carry a $15,000,000 annual flight expenditure for her position. That is crazy. How about the VP? What do you think it costs for the POTUS to make one domestic trip for a speech?

Why didn't you speak up when Denny Hastert was the one blowing the $15 mil. a year, Kimosabe?

The reason was that they decided to protect themselves further while still not understanding the 9-11 attack. It was a jerk reaction that went to far, but it exists now. The concern today is that her decision to accept that plane will cost the taxpayer $15,000,000 per year. Before 9-11 they flew commercially, which I believe is the most prudent way. The position should not carry a $15,000,000 annual flight expenditure for her position. That is crazy. It costs $15 million to fly a plane across the country? How many times does $15 million cover?
