SUVs famously roll over Interstate guardrails. Shouldn't that be rephrased a bit?

“”...I would probably drive or ride in a SUV. Something like a Tahoe or Expedition. Something that four or more people can roll in...”

Are you being sarcastic? No SUVs don’t roll over anymore than any other car I have seen. Do you not know the term “rolling with my homies”?
I'd like someone to point to the section of the US Constitution that says we taxpayers are supposed to pay for the automobiles of members of Congress. Taxpayers sure didn't pay for horses and buggies for congresscritters back in the day.
This nation is trillions of dollars in debt, and that figure is growing daily. Meanwhile, these clowns continue to spend money like there is no end.
Everybody should think about that the next time they start talking about raising taxes, like Hillary or Obama in their stump speeches they are giving daily......
“Especially Congressman and Senators. President is one thing, but I think the Government should just buy a fleet of Tahoes one year and then after three years buy a fleet of Expeditions. Nothing fancy just mid range models. Should get a decent discount on quantity orders.”
They don’t even rate that, maybe when they actually start doing something useful and FIX something.
Until then, a fleet of leased vans to take them to and from home to the office should be FINE, just like the ones millions of Americans have to ride in.
Heck, I’d even allow them to get a discounted bus pass, but that’s it.
Stayed in a motel in Northern Michigan last week, and that motel just happened to be hosting some convention for state bureaucrats.
The parking lot was packed with brand new SUVs and pick-ups, bearing the logos for the Department of Natural Resources and the Department of Transportation.
Government by pigs, for pigs and of pigs.
These Pig Articles make me very angry. Friggin’ Government needs a big overhaul with a lot of B-Crats swinging from the oaks! L&L time.
They forgot to mention that those tax payer paid for cars are also drive by a chauffeur also paid for by Uncle Sam.
I like your choice. My wife, a business associate, and myself were having this very discussion just two days ago. The premise was “if money was no object” what would you be driving? If money was no object applied to our money not someone else’s.
I would be driving a very hot Ferrari.
Charles B. Rangel, the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, is not so caught up in the question of gas mileage. He leases a 2004 Cadillac DeVille for $777.54 a month.
The heck with Rangel's pimp-mobile. I want to know who's paying for his hair straightening and gel.
[If you put his pillow cases through a refinery OPEC would be out of business.]
You seem to be describing the new Chevy Tahoe Hybrid or the GMC Yukon Hybrid. Check them out.
What the he!!????
Are these people all Democrats?
