Gov wants new Jets now???

Nice example of leadership. Ironic though, probably the same attitude as those in Congress. So where do we send our campaign contributions again?

Mark, the "govt issue" versions have a little bit different equipment than a civilian model. I doubt you'll find all the details online...

FWIW, I was fully in support of everybody getting to DC in jets. Congress/POTUS made @sses out of themselves with that one.

Here's a really bold idea: consider why we have to have so many people in DC for so long, year in and year out. Who says we need to pass so many stupid freaking laws every year? Give us just one year of no crappy laws, no stupid chit to argue about....just pass a budget and go home. 9 million committees, stupid BS hearings, just leave it alone for awhile....let it marinate. :26:

There is a real show of leadership.

Mr. President, within a short stone's throw of where we are debating today sits a committee of Senators sweating, laboring earnestly to find a million dollars here, a few hundred thousand dollars there, in taxes. They are sitting within a few steps of this Chamber. I am referring to the Senate Finance Committee. They are trying to protect the business structure of the country which generates the wealth which produces the taxes we so wantonly and with blithe spirits and gleeful abandon freely squander. And I think it is squandering, as a matter of fact. This is the most remarkable area of contrast that I know anything about. In that committee they try to find a few million dollars in taxes. Here we are considering an amendment increasing an already huge appropriation by $1,000,000,000. It is like using a teaspoon in order to get a few taxes into the Treasury and at the same time at the back door using a scoop shovel to shovel them out.

No doubt on the equipment list - but roughly 2 TIMES THE COST??? :ack2:

Yep, the govt versions have big bathtubs, lounge chairs, sleeper sofas, a complete gourmet kitchen, plush carpeting, etc. Saves money vs putting in all those seats.......:sifone:
