I guess they thought we wouldn't notice

The lead story in the August 7 WSJ is about Congress spending $550 million to buy 8 new jets, which will "augment a fleet of about two dozen passenger jets maintained by the Air Force" for federal officials. Did the congressmen and women think we wouldn't notice?

The planes are well equipped: "all leather seats, sleeping accommodations, and two large galleys for cooking." Last year House members spent about 3000 days overseas on taxpayer-funded trips.

I don't know why but I'm actually shocked that the White House is determined to label us protestors as an unruly mob. Then again so did England in the 1700s.
