Look at the bright side .... Your now a part owner in a new plane. And you now know where your tax money is being spent..

Corruption.. they would throw you and I in jail for these kind of shenanagens...

Now now, just because some folks are more equal than other is no reason to get excited (unless your one of them). We can always eat cake!



And French made! With your dollars.

Gotta love Citi Bank...

By the way check your credit card statement every month, with the new laws coming into effect soon, all the credit card companies are upping their rates and they don't have to tell you, they don't even have to have a reason... My Citi card went from 8.75% OVERNIGHT to a whopping 21%, paid it off the next day and threw it in the trash...

Read my signature line, it basically says it all.....

Looks like it isn't going to happen following pressure from the Obama administration...

dhazzard - I agree with you 100% and did you realize she is third in line for the crown ..er..presidency.

I can understand why we should pay for Air Force One and Two, but Air Force Three, no way. Let the Speaker of the house fly commercial or use her money to fly a privet jet. Maybe it will help keep some of our government in touch with us surfs.

Nancy and AL do just fine, but if they ever hit hard times Barney will give them a mortgage "loan" and I'm sure the new guy heading up the IRS will defer their taxes for 3 or 4 years....

With no penalties! Prince Timmy paid no penalties on his tax debt!

If we are going provide #3 with a plane it should be limited to only elected officials or employees of elected officials. It should also be capable of doing the job as quickly and efficiently as possible.

In that spirit I think we should give Nancy the X7. I mean think of the French economy. You know it is all our fault.

Citi says no to $45 million jet

I guess maybe we could build her a palacial TD

I wanted to add to this.
Check your statement. My mother's friend is just as frugal (cheap! ) as I am. She pays her credit card off, in full, every month, 10 days before it is due. She has never been late, barely ever carries a balance and has never been a problem. She recieved a bill with an extra $10 added to it from the card company. She called and asked what it was, and the other end responded that it was a "Bad Economy Fee". They are going to charge my mother's friend $10 every month she has the card. They would not remove the fee. I did not catch what card it was on, but I wanted you guys to be aware of it.

or maybe not pay them like the new Secretary of Treasury Geithner with his disclosures of about $34,000 in tax delinquencies...
