It appears that Congress has decided to buy 2 new $65 million luxury jets for its use. An excerpt from the article is below. This shows nothing more than flat-out bribery that is somehow still legal in the country. Something really must be done to close down things like this.
--- excerpt ---
Money for the other two was inserted by the House Appropriations Committee, which also inserted a requirement that the jets be used by the Air Force's 89th Airlift Wing, which is based at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland, and provides transportation for government VIPs -- including members of Congress.
The funding for the jets was pushed by two members of the Appropriations Committee, Democrat Sanford Bishop and Republican Jack Kingston.
Both are from Georgia, where the Gulfstream is made, and both have received more than $10,000 over the past two years in campaign contributions from General Dynamics, the parent company of Gulfstream.
