[quote=Aecetia]I wonder what Congress invests in? Is it precious metals and what it their exit strategy? I would imagine a large traffic jam trying to get out of DC, kind of like Independence Day when the aliens start blowing up the Capitol. Good luck with that.[/quote]
A: I think they were planning to use shiny new jets (and put it on our tab) to make their escape in. But that didn’t quite work out as planned…hehehe.
“House Democratic leaders said Monday that they will not force the Pentagon to buy four new passenger jets used to ferry senior government officials.
Democrats have been criticized for adding $330 million to the Air Force’s 2010 budget to buy the jets even though the Pentagon didn’t request the money.”
