[...] a free commuter pass from Wilmington, which made him a hero to some libtards because he didn't maintain a flat in DC. Whoopie! The time and distance involved is less that what a lot of high level Japanese business executives put up with everyday. Taking the Acela Express, of course. If you wanted to take the Acela Express from Wilmington, DE, to Washington, DC, round-trip would cost $350-400. Of course, a daily commute would get a discount, but the fact is, the taxpayers paid for him being able to have a luxurious, fast commute.
Your point is well taken, but it is actually
about $115 each way with even a minimal advance purchase. Still, we're talking probably a $3000 monthly transportation benefit even with a discounted commuter pass.
If he were a real hero with taxpayer $, he could put a cot in his office to sleep during the week like that freshman congressman from Utah does.
