Americans are Asked to Sacrifice as Congress Spends Millions on Private Jets

  It seems as though we are constantly being asked to sacrifice under this regime. We are told that sacrifices must be made for the common good and we are told that we must sacrifice to save the planet from global warming.

  It would seem to me that those arrogant bastards that ask us to sacrifice might try to set an example by dong the same, but alas, that is not the case. As the government spends money that it doesn’t have and as the deficit grows instead of “sacrificing,” the same government that is asking us to sacrifice is on a spending spree. There is no “sacrifice” coming from congress as they recently approved $200 million to furnish themselves with new jets to fly them around wherever they go.

  If these people had any decency whatsoever they would not ask for these new jets when millions of Americans cannot find work and are having trouble feeding their families. The government is constantly raising taxes and spending, it sure seems to me that it would be a better idea to cut taxes, as well as the funding of these jets, and give more money back to the people that Barack Obama pretends to care so much about.

  As families are having trouble making ends meet our government is spending millions in order to insure that they can travel in gas guzzling, environment destroying planes. This is hypocrisy on two levels and it should not be tolerated any more.

    Most political leaders feel they are above and beyond the sacrifice they call on others to make—its always been that way, but now it seems to be getting worse. They should pay for their airfares on public carriers just as everyone else has to do except rock stars–maybe they see themselves that way.

    Man, can you imagine the carbon footprint those jets will leave?
