Er. They couldn't bother to mention that WE lease that big ole car for him?!
From WCBS TV:
You may not realize it, but members of the House of Representatives can lease a car and have it paid for by you -- the taxpayer. And it's not just the car, but gas, registration, insurance … the works.Ya know, I'm beginning to thing Rangel honestly believes we'll buy into all his crapola. He really is that "out of touch", as his comrades like to say.And as CBS 2 HD found out, there's no limit on how much they can spend.
Congressman Charles Rangel was recently seen getting out of his Cadillac DeVille, which he leases for $774 per month....
All those leases are picked up by taxpayers through a little-known program available only to members of the House of Representatives.
Rangel spoke to CBS 2 HD by phone about the seemingly extravagant expenses being racked up on the taxpayers' dime:
CBS 2 HD: "How would you answer those people who say, 'Well, but it's taxpayer money. Instead of $700 a month, could you find something for, say, $300 a month?'"
Rangel: "I could probably find something for ... one of those red cars and then I think my constituents would say, 'With all the money that he gets, this is the respect he shows us?'" [The GALL of the man!]
Earlier, Rangel released a statement, further addressing the issue.
"When I'm in New York, my car is my office. I use it to conduct Congressional business. It really pleases me that (my constituents) appreciate driving in a comfortable car, especially the senior citizens," Rangel said.
"The car isn't just a vehicle for getting around; it's an important part of doing my job and my constituents appreciate it."
Rangel’s constituents DO buy his spittle. That’s how he and braindead fools like Maxine Waters keep getting re-elected! We have enclaves all over America that have been programmed to produce such stupidity. The democrap party depends upopn them for elections, just elections ... the modern slave class don’tchaknow.
