Were these Volts part of the Republican budget cuts to the State Department budget we’ve heard about this week?

Come to think of it, there hasn’t been any budget, so they’ve been splurging on baseline-increased levels. That means, its just a matter of priorities. The Hillary dominated State Department thinks of security as an unseemly expense, at least for the distant embassies, if not for the higher ups, who travel in style with major protection.

the State Department authorized the U.S. Embassy in Vienna to purchase a $108,000 electric-vehicle charging station for the embassy motor pool's new Chevrolet Volts.

108K for a charging station for a Volt? Don't the stupid thins just plug into a outlet? Glad to know we have our priorities in place.

"Priorities: While our consulate in Benghazi was guarded by unarmed Libyan contractors making $4 an hour, our embassy in Vienna received an expensive charging station for its new electric cars"

Good night!!

I wonder how many of the few Volts that exist were purchased by the US government?

So they buy Volts in the US and ship them to our embassies?????? If the charging stations cost $108,000 in Austria,what’s the total for our 200+ embassies? $22 million??? + the cars + the freight?

There’s a Volt parked in the US Embassy Panama motor pool and it’s going to stay that way because they didn’t get a charging station. That’s at least another year off anyway since an RFP has to go out, proposals evaluated, an award made, and finally the contractor installs the station—assuming the charging station ever shows up.

Hillary’s Presidential hopes have just expired.

Just a little somethging about that "ancient" DC 3

The DC3 was popular for many reasons: she was larger, faster and more luxurious than previous planes, more economical to operate and safe. Stories of DC3 durability are legend around the world. Perhaps no other aircraft has been so historically abused and come off so well. Maybe the reasons the DC 3's are still flying as no-one has yet designed a better aircraft for the particular job being done. It is often said the only replacement for a DC3 is another DC3.
