This really doesn’t bother me so much. We are running trillion dollar deficits and risking the economic collapse of the USA, and I’m supposed to get all worked up over Pelosi spending a hundred grand on military flights? If we had to pay millions to keep her airborne permanently, it would be worth it if she’d stay away from Congress for good. Shoot! I’d buy her a box of chocolate covered strawberries myself if she’d retire.

“This really doesn’t bother me so much.”

Does me, because it is dripping in hypocrisy. These kinds of telling behaviors by these self-entitiled parasites should be exposed at each and every opportunity.

Yes you are. Her personal extravagances are symptomatic of government's general attitude toward the stewardship of 'OPM'.

Not getting worked up about this is like saying, "People are dying of small-pox all around me and I'm supposed to get worked up over a small skin lesion?"

Pelosi's indulgences are inseperable from the national debt as a whole.

I read the article. It was a little vague, but the AF estimated a cost of over 28K per flight, with over 100 "Pelosi-Led Congressional Delegations". Interesting euphemism.

Anyhoow, That's 3 million, more-or-less, to fly this fool around for a couple of years. More money than most people would see in a lifetime.

I'm glad to see that the adults are back in charge. Boehner is flying commercial, good for him.

The point is that the stated bill was just for services and does not count the cost of those 90,000 miles and the costs that she incurred while on the ground both in the U.S. and abroad. She is just one of the democrats doing this. You don’t allow them to get away with this self-serving crap and keep in mind that a little bit here and a little bit there and pretty soon it turns into real money. Hell, it’s all real money and it’s our money, not theirs.
