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.

Oh god our government spending money what a shock.

Wow, those are some terribly expensive jets, to be flying all those criminals around with. Maybe they should pass some regulations…

Krugman praised the gov for not cutting its spending. Show must go on. Gov spends, corp spends, sheeple spend… Saving and cutting expenses is for losers [:P]

What’s even more funny, they’re paying $66mil for a $49mil jet. It’s easy to spend other people’s money!

That’s the cost of adding all those prisoner restraint chairs, for all the passengers.

If it still seems kind of expensive, it’s probably because the criminals (intended passengers) stole the rest..

Maybe it’s their getaway planes? They know something that we don’t yet?

Heh, it would be interesting to know whether they have the fuel to make it outside the country… [:P]

I still like to think of them as criminal transport planes, though.
