"Do you believe it is worth it to the taxpayers to pay $15,000,000 a year so tht Pelosi or whomever is the speaker can fly home?"

Nope. Nor do I believe that Cheney should take the same plane whenever he wants to go hunting game released from cages. I do think it is worth it when he hunts lawyers, but he doesn't do that very often. Or when Laura gives a speech, or Condi wants to buy some shoes or...

Because this is the plane we are talking about. That is the reason the military has it, to shuttle the VP, First Lady, Cabinet officials or Congressmen request it.

Pelosi is one heartbeat and one pacemaker away from the presidency.
The security she would need to fly commercial would be killer high.
