Yeah, I noted the WH agreed to the expense.. that was Bush, who never said no to an expense and that's exactly what pisses me off.
I'm not trying to attack Pelosi here. I'm saying this is a needless expense. Government is way too quick to spend my/our money for bullshit expenses. If it was THEIR money they would probably find another way. I'm not aware of whether Pelosi is using the old plane or not, but if she is I would imagine it's only because the new one isn't ready yet. My argument is with the request and the approval, and no one raising an objection along the way. Whether she's actually using the new plane or not is moot. > And I was a critic of her asking for something larger. > These planes are about as nice as they come! So we agree then!
