QUEEN PELOSI and the Little People-- I don't care who you are, Democrat, Republican, Independent, liberal or conservative, blue state or red state, you have to be appalled at the sheer gall of this woman!
Pelosi wasn't happy with the small USAF C-20B jet, Gulfstream III that comes with the Speaker's job; she was aggravated that this little jet had to stop to refuel, so she ordered a Big Fat, 200-seat, USAF C-32, Boeing 757 jet that could get her back to California without stopping! I understand that a former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich, flew commercial most of the time. Since Pelosi works only three days a week, this gas guzzling jet gets fueled and she flies home to California every Friday and we have to pay for her returns every Monday, at a cost to the taxpayers of about $60,000 one way! That is $480,000 per month. Keep in mind, this figure does not include the cost of plane or crew – just the fuel. Think of the military families doing without while this woman keeps fueling that jet at our expense. She wants us to buy smaller cars and to conserve our carbon footprint. And on top of this, now she wants to tax our IRA's & 401K's!
Look at History; see what happened to nations that allowed their leaders to put themselves before their nation. We can stop this drift and save our nation if we will; but if we don’t, the next generation may not have either the will or the power to do it.
