FW: [FWD: The Queen's Jet (I will pass this on every time I receive it!)]

The never ending Hysteria dominating our broken political system

How about getting rid of the Glass-stegall act?  It's been completely wiped out by both dems and repubs.  It was created in 1932 to separate banking, casino gambling (as it was called then, now called dervitives and credit default swaps), and investment houses. 

 

Where were all the hysterics when this law was being destroyed?  And why is that guy so hysterical now?  That's what I don't get.  Yeah, Newt Ginrich, one of the biggest bullshitters in history, probably didn't take advantage of the Air force flying options as often as Pelosi,  but he lived a couple of hours away (where he moved in Georgia because he couldn't get elected where he lived).  He made up the contract on America, etc.  and think about it, you know about asset management.  Our ridiculously giant armed forces have these planes.  The planes are maintained, and have to be flown.  So the costs are already gone before anyone comes up with a reason to fly and maintain these incredibly high end assets.

 

I was at NASA moffet field a couple of months ago, and one of the astronauts landed while we were standing out side.  They each get a really pretty little white jet, looks similar to an F-104, to use as they see fit.  Is that less expensive, and a better use of taxpayer money than flying the leader of the house of reps?  What the hell does it matter, when the money is burned whether anyone other than Generals using the asset or not.

 

How can we lower the level of hysteria, and focus on the real issues, like, the rape by wall street, Pakistan teetering on the edge, no jobs for young people, no jobs for high school graduates, and colleges restricting enrollments and raising fees.  The average tuition for state universities has double from 2000 to 2008 instead of hysterically  calling a grandmother a queen because she happens to be an elected official.  This crap makes me ill.

 

Have a nice day.   George

Tony,

 

I've figured it out.   First of all, these guys shouldn't call the first female speaker of the house a queen. 

 

But more importantly, despite all the history, we need to start a referendum to re-locate the capital to the middle of Kansas.  It was fine when it was 13 colonies, but now all the money comes from California and New York so let's put it in the middle.  And we could leave K street in Washington.

 

The mid-west could use the attention and the money…

 

Okay then!

Is this true?

More GOVERNMENT OUT OF CONTROL………………………………………. THIS KIND OF BS HAS TO STOP………..

 

 I don't care who you are ... Democrat, Republican, or Independent ... liberal or conservative ... blue state or red state ... you have to be appalled at the sheer gall of this woman!

This is QUEEN PELOSI'S NEW JET!!!  And the Democrats talk about Sarah's dresses???

Queen Pelosi wasn't happy with the small USAF C-20B jet, Gulfstream III, that comes with the Speaker's job ... OH NO!  Queen Pelosi was aggravated that this little jet had to stop to refuel, so she ordered a Big Fat, 200-seat, USAF C-32, Boeing 757 jet that could get her back toCalifornia without stopping!  I understand that a former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich, flew commercial most of the time.

Many, many legislators walked by and grinned with glee as Joe informed everyone of what Queen Nancy's Big Fat Jet costs us, the hard working American tax payers, literally thousands of gallons of fuel every week.

Since she only works 3 days a week, this gas guzzling jet gets fueled and she flies home to California every Friday and returns every Monday, at a cost to the taxpayers (YOU and ME are those taxpayers!) of about $60,000, one way!

As Joe put it ..."unfortunately we have to pay to bring her back on Monday night and that costs us another $60,000!"  Taxpayers, that is $480,000 per month and that is an annual cost to us of $5,760,000!!! 

No wonder she complains about the cost of this war ... it might cramp her style and she is styling on my back and yours.  I think of the military families in this country doing without and this woman, who heads up the most do-nothing Congress in the history of our country, keeps fueling that jet while doing nothing.

Queen Pelosi wants you and me to conserve our carbon footprint.  She wants us to buy  smaller cars and Obama wants us to get a bicycle pump and air up our tires. Who do these people think they are???  Their motto is ... Don't do as I do ... JUST DO AS I SAY! 

If you think this is outrageous, forward it to all those on your email list!  Keep in mind the figures above do NOT include the cost of plane or crew ... just the fuel!!!  One has to wonder what the total package costs us?

And on top of that ... now she wants to tax our IRA's & 401K's!

PASS THIS ON IF YOU CARE ABOUT ANYTHING AT ALL!
