Democrats in Congress Drive Luxury Cars on Taxpayer Dime

[ThunderKiss1965]

No politician should be leasing a car and charging it to the Government aka the tax payer. Drive your own goddamn car to work like the rest of us peasants have to do.

Magaturds believe the only EV is a Tesla. Retired boomers only see them from their Buicks.

Are you stupid ?

Document how many GOP are driving on the taxpayers' dime before you make this demand.

Do you have some sort of cognitive problem? Or did you not bother to read the first post?

Oh, **** off. There are thousands of private companies that are subsidized by taxpayers through government contracts to lease cars to employees.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett billed taxpayers $11,996 in 2024 for a fresh set of wheels

Jasmine Crockett speaks during rally against Elon Musk (Jemal Countess/Getty Images for MoveOn)

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D., Texas) declared in February that the government is "not in the business of giving out money" to taxpayers. But when it comes to the simple luxuries in her own life, the firebrand lawmaker is happy to let the public foot the bill.

That includes her taxpayer-funded car. Crockett has billed the public $999.96 every month since she assumed office in January 2023 to pay for a "vehicle lease," according to House disbursement records reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon. It’s unclear the make and model of Crockett’s publicly financed whip—lawmakers are not required to disclose that information and her office did not return a request for comment—but it’s enough to pay for a Tesla Model S, Elon Musk’s luxury sports sedan, which leases for $998 per month.

Crockett obtained her taxpayer-funded vehicle through a little-known fringe benefit that allows representatives to bill the public for a fresh set of EPA-approved wheels to traverse their congressional districts. Some 42 lawmakers participated in the program in 2024, including 15 Republican participants who represent geographically expansive districts that average 18,100 square miles each. The Republican participants primarily leased economy vehicles from American manufacturers, with several of their offices telling the Free Beacon that leasing a vehicle is a far more cost-effective way for the lawmakers to traverse their massive districts as opposed to paying for airfare or using their personal vehicle at the IRS reimbursement rate of 67 cents per mile.

But the same can’t be said for many of the 27 Democratic participants in the program, several of whom used taxpayer funds to lease vehicles from luxury brands including Tesla, Lexus, and Volvo. And 15 of those Democrats, including Crockett, represent dense urban districts that are smaller than 500 square miles."

The cost of Congress?

How much do Representatives and Senators make each year?
How much do they get in expenses from taxpayers?

Allowances Available to Members of US Congress

Along with salaries and benefits, members of the US Congress may receive various allowances to help defray the personal costs of their duties.

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Members of the U.S. Congress, including both Representatives and Senators, earn an annual salary of $174,000 as of 20252. Leadership positions, such as the Speaker of the House or Senate Majority Leader, receive higher salaries. For example, the Speaker of the House earns $223,500 annually.

In addition to their salaries, members of Congress are entitled to various taxpayer-funded benefits and allowances. These include office expenses, travel allowances, and staff salaries. The exact amount varies depending on factors like the size of their district or state. For instance, Representatives receive an average of $1.5 million annually for their office budgets, while Senators' budgets can range from $3 million to $5 million, depending on the population of their state.

As I stated nobody in congress is poor thus they can buy/lease their own vehicle. travel expenses are for when they need to fly to some conference, not to go back and forth to work, if they are doing that it's stealing or a better term misuse of funds
