If Congress was consistent in punishing executives needing bailouts, all our politicians’ jets would be taken away, and their salaries cut in half, if not more, for the extra several trillion THEY have put ALL OF US on the hook for.

Everyone who voted needs to literally be tarred and feathered and run out on a rail.

Pretty sure that everyone is using the term ‘private’ to distinguish from a commercial plane. The reports I have seen have identified it as a government plane (not AF1), so it very likely was a military plane.

The President himself has acknowledged that the expense of the flight is being borne by taxpayers and that it was considerable.
