GOP To FAA: Drop Dead

[Synthaholic]

The Wingnuts in the House targeted only small airports in Blue states, stuck it in the bill without any negotiation with the Senate, then left town.

That shit don't fly, and they know it.

How is the GOP going to make up this lost revenue?

It's the Dems who did these projects with pork.
The Repubs don't use the taxpayers money for their own little conveniences, they still drive the extra miles to their homes from major air ports.

False. Post your link.

Try google there are plenty of stories out there.

I dont want to influence you by using a right wing search engine. Since google is in the tank for you guys, you can wade through the pages of BS. Plus I really love playing rope a dope. WANNA PLAY?

If you can't back up your idiot ramblings, then fuck off.

It's as simple as that.

My way is much more polite.

When you come in here and spout a bunch of bullshit, you're gonna get called on it.

Don't like it? Tough shit.

They don't know what that word means. Revenue? Who needs revenue?

Spend wisely and meet lessor resistance.

Where is your evidence that it hasn't been spent wisely? Oh that's right, you were talking out your ass.

Overall, according to documents uncovered by Judicial Watch in January 2011, Pelosi used the Air Force aircraft for a total of 43 trips, covering 90,155 miles, from January 1 through October 1, 2010. Judicial Watch, through FOIA, continues to pursue other records related to Pelosi’s use of Air Force aircraft. A May 6-10, 2010, Congressional Delegation to Afghanistan and Germany “to discuss issues of mutual interest in Qatar and Afghanistan, as well as conduct oversight on women’s issues (troops) in Afghanistan and to visit with US troops and meet with government officials in Germany.” The total cost of military travel was $204,135.00. The records indicate then-Speaker Pelosi made a personal request that the “maximum per diem allowance be made available at the enhanced rate of an additional $50.”

 

[freedombecki]

Oh, yeah, and "Previous documents obtained by Judicial Watch show the former Speaker’s military travel cost the USAF $2,100,744.59 over one two-year period — $101,429.14 of which was for in-flight expenses, including food and alcohol." linky

I'm not sure what you mean by shrimp on treadmills. But both of the other two are justifiable. I think that womens safety is in an important thing for a society to be concerned about. I think it's worth not have blight in your city, with broken storefronts, graffiti, projecting a sense of hopelessness.

Pork is unnecessary spending by Congress. The Speaker of the House Pelosi, if you read the link, charged the American people for her and her family to fly anywhere at will, often cancelling all preparations with little or no notice, in blatant disregard for the Air Force being a military, not a personal convenience service to fatcats like the superrich Pelosi gang.

And that's not all the stuff Pelosi pulled while she pulled money from yours and my pocket for her and her family's enrichment.

I think you're miffed because you know Judicial Watch backs up their allegations, and they are very true.

Pelosi abused power at taxpayer expense, most of whom do not have an extensive personal fortune like hers.

Pork is NOT unnecessary spending by Congress. Please explain what makes it unnecessary.

Typically, "pork" involves funding for government programs whose economic or service benefits are concentrated in a particular area but whose costs are spread among all taxpayers. Public works projects, certain national defense spending projects, and agricultural subsidies are the most commonly cited examples.
​

As for Speaker Pelosi, the Bush administration asked Speaker Hastert and then Speaker Pelosi to ride military, for safety, after 9/11.

It's not pork, because it's not a outlay of expenses by Congress to benefit a Congressional district.

It's not Speaker Pelosi wanting special treatment, because it was asked of her by the Bushies, just like they asked Speaker Hastert.

Do you understand now?

The Senate was perfectly free to pass its own version of the bill and send it to a conference committee, the same way things have been done for over 200 years.. Where is that bill?

[Sigh...]

Professional Aviation Safety Specialists (PASS) Region II : PASS Legislative Update for July 1, 2011

The Senate passed its version of the FAA reauthorization legislation (S. 223) in February and the House passed its version (H.R. 658) in April. The two versions are now in an informal conference and PASS continues to lobby on numerous issues important to PASS members (see Legislative Update, May 27, 2011). However, House and Senate lawmakers remain at odds over several issues including funding levels, the Essential Air Service program and a House-passed provision that would overturn a National Mediation Board ruling regarding union elections.
