House Orders Up Three Elite Jets
August 5, 2009
By Paul Singer
Roll Call Staff
Last year, lawmakers excoriated the CEOs of the Big Three automakers for traveling to Washington, D.C., by private jet to attend a hearing about a possible bailout of their companies.

But apparently Congress is not philosophically averse to private air travel: 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.

Because the Appropriations Committee viewed the additional aircraft as an expansion of an existing Defense Department program, it did not treat the money for two more planes as an earmark, and the legislation does not disclose which Member had requested the additional money.

An Appropriations Committee staffer said the military was already planning to replace its passenger fleet, and the committee “looked at the request and decided they should speed up the replacement.”

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.”

The version Gulfstream sells to the military is reconfigured for the government with modest accommodations, not the luxury version sold to private customers, said a source familiar with the planes.

Rep. Sanford Bishop (D-Ga.) had submitted a request to the Appropriations Committee for a $70 million earmark for one airplane on behalf of Georgia-based Gulfstream, and Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.) lists the airplane as one of the earmarks that he was asked to request, though his office said he never made the request to the Appropriations Committee.

“The committee saw fit to fund it at that level” without Kingston’s involvement, his spokesman said.

Gotta trade in those 3 year old Learjet clunkers. One of these machines creates as much CO2 in 1 hour as is generated by 12,000 people driving the family car to church on Sunday in Amerika.

WOW! Some folks have lots of gall. {southern term}

A liberal in a jet, can burn more carbon in a long trip than a motorhome uses in 10 years.

So Gov Plain will put these on e-bay. It sure looks like Palin will have a lot of corruption to clean up. Actually she could have prevented this.

Notice coadi will use the words Government will mandate several times in the following quotes. These are false statements.
When you read (if you really want the truth) bill you will see that this section is about sustaining life as long as possible, not ending life as coadi says.

Limit means pull the tubes. Abortion is a form of limiting.

Shut 'er down. I take it light has no health care experience.

And the Obama drones assume they will elect their own proxy. it doesn't say that. These pro abortion socialists don't know what health care rationing for Seniors looks like. People with any brains are reading these documents and showing up for clarification. The socialists run from responding.
Light you really aren't educated enough to know every reatemen can require a phone call and consent from the great cube farm in Washington. King Hussein will have people decide what you have spent on you.

Here boys and girls is what health care rationing looks like.

When the Obama adherents say it isn't so, they can't prove it. it may be worse. Remember indian Health is from the same government and has been refined for how many years?

WASHINGTON -- Congress plans to spend $550 million to buy eight jets, a substantial upgrade to the fleet used by federal officials at a time when lawmakers have criticized the use of corporate jets by companies receiving taxpayer funds.

The purchases will help accommodate growing travel demand by congressional officials. The planes augment a fleet of about two dozen passenger jets maintained by the Air Force for lawmakers, administration officials and military chiefs to fly on government trips in the U.S. and abroad.

This is for the Democart elite Fleet. Congress makes halliburtion look like a thrift shop.

Yes, each side puts their own spin on current events but..........even if you're not a Fox news junkie, wake up and smell the coffee! :hypercoffee

The Democrats are not to be trusted. Read your history. Check out all of the programs from the '30's with FDR. We're still paying for some of those decisions....
