At least most of them are American made, (if that is a silver lining)

In my home state, the State Reps. get a taxpayer provided car, and mileage reimbursement.

Are these vehicles leased and based in Washington D.C or are they for they local district office locations? My guess is D.C. but don't know.

I would have to assume the rule is that the car has to be US made (otherwise they'd all be driving Ferraris).

It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native American criminal class except CONGRESS.

I'm relieved to see my Congressman (Eric Cantor) is not on the list.

Another observation is that certain Democrats tend to favor the phat rides: Cadillacs, Lincolns, Infinitis.

And what's with RAT from NC that's got three rides?

Considering that they have to maintain two homes, a leased car in Washington isn't out of line.

Now, which environmentalists are driving evil SUV's?

THis is a tempest in a tea pot. Each Congressman is given a budget to operate thier offices. They are allowed to lease vehicles out of this budget. Some choose to lease vehicles, others choose not to. That simple.

I'm sure if all the perks that our ruling class enjoyed were laid out on the table, we would no longer be stupid enough to vote for any of them.

Except maybe Ron Paul.

Good to see my representative (Roscoe Bartlett R-MD) is paying his own way.
