Congress: $200 Million For 3 Gulfstream Jets

Obama sent his minions out the other day to float a trial balloon over the American public. No guarantee taxes will not increase.

I'm sorry, but I'm not paying any more taxes to fund more giveaways.

After a firestorm, Obama reeled in his rapidly deflating balloon the next day. White House says no tax increase for under $250,000 in income.

The word is that Obama and his cretinous henchmen and women are still seeking some way to push through tax increases as federal tax revenues nose dive.

Yet Obama continues to advance his spend, spend, spend policies. "As The Wall Street Journal pointed out earlier this year, "the feds could take 100 percent of the taxable income of everyone in America earning more than $500,000 and still have raised only $1.3 trillion even in the boom year of 2006. The rich are fewer and less rich now, while the Obama budget is nearly $4 trillion."

This as Obama's "stimulous package" cost us over $1 Trillion, and his "health care" proposals would tack on another estimated $1 Trillion.

I guess the idiots in Congress figure they're gonna get while the getting is good and have decided to buy three new Gulf Stream 500 jets. At $65 Million a pop, I think coach on Southwest Airlines is a better choice for these parasites.

You can check out what you, the taxpayer, will be getting for your money, but will never see the inside of, right here: www.Gulfstream.com.

What really irritates me is that the Airforce (who has to shuttle around these monkeys) asked for ONE.

ONE SINGLE PLANE!

I guess that wasn't good enough for Pelosi and gang. They are buying THREE!
