Peolosi Orders Up Three 200 million dollar Elite Jets<---FLY AWAY

Quote:

At the end of July, the House approved nearly $200 million for the Air Force to buy three elite Gulfstream jets for ferrying top government officials and Members of Congress.

The Air Force had asked for one Gulfstream 550 jet (price tag: about $65 million) as part of an ongoing upgrade of its passenger air service.
But the House Appropriations Committee, at its own initiative, added to the 2010 Defense appropriations bill another $132 million for two more airplanes and specified that they be assigned to the D.C.-area units that carry Members of Congress, military brass and top government officials.

The Gulfstream G550 is a luxury business jet, which the company advertises as featuring long-range flight capacity that “easily links Washington, D.C., with Dubai, London with Singapore and Tokyo with Paris.” The company’s promotional materials say, “The cabin aboard the G550 combines productivity with exceptional comfort. It features up to four distinct living areas, three temperature zones, a choice of 12 floor plan configurations with seating for up to 18 passengers.”
Yes, we can.:singing::singing::singing::singing: No wonder why we don't have any money left.

Obama is a liar when he said that we didn't have any money.

Big money spend came during Bush administration

Quote:
US government spending increased 9.3 percent in the Bush administration's final fiscal year.

The spending went up to nearly $2.79 trillion,
the equivalent of $9,184 for every person living in the United States.
Pot calling the kettle black I think......

How bad can it be when we have 2T deficits under Obama regime??

You need to look forward NOT backward. You want to look backward because you don't see any light by looking forward.:singing::singing::singing::singing:

Over two years old, happened just after she came into office as Speaker of the House. She wanted a bigger jet, she got those instead.

Wasn't Bush who ordered it, but it was under his administration that it was originally supposed to be ordered.
