Next Zero and our Congresscritters will be driving the streets in Mine Resistant Vehicles...at risk from the peasants.
More of our tax dollars at work
Elite jets for the elite.
These Kings and Queens can use public transportation like everyone else.
Gypses, Tramps & Thieves
VOTE AGAINST ALL INCUMBENTS
Keep in mind too these same Congresscritters refused to allow anymore funding of the F-22. But to ferry their precious rear ends around, the skies the limit! But I guess Pelosi set the precedent with her demands for Air Force jets to fly her to and fro, rather than that her superior self would have to fly commercial like the rest of us peasants.
I enjoyed plenty of government air travel on C-23 Sherpas...Wonder why they’re not good enough for these public serpents.
I fear that they will need to.
“Let them go Greyhound”
I’d be thrilled just to “let them go” period.
“Obama gonna pay my mortgage and get me one o’ them Gulfstreams!”
Some Animal Farm quotes that seem in line with what our congressional overlords are doing to the voting public.
“ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL, BUT SOME ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS”
- George Orwell, Animal Farm, Ch. 10
“No one believes more firmly than Comrade Napoleon that all animals are equal. He would be only too happy to let you make your decisions for yourselves. But sometimes you might make the wrong decisions, comrades, and then where should we be?”
Animal Farm, Ch. 5
“All that year the animals worked like slaves. But they were happy in their work; they grudged no effort or sacrifice, well aware that everything they did was for the benefit of themselves and those of their kind who would come after them, and not for a pack of idle, thieving human beings.”
Animal Farm, Ch. 6
“they had come to a time when no one dared speak his mind, when fierce, growling dogs roamed everywhere, and when you had to watch your comrades torn to pieces after confessing to shocking crimes.” Chapter 7
“It had become usual to give Napoleon the credit for every successful achievement and every stroke of good fortune. You would often hear one hen remark to another, ‘Under the guidance of our Leader, Comrade Napoleon, I have laid five eggs in six days’; or two cows, enjoying a drink at the pool, would exclaim, ‘Thanks to the leadership of Comrade Napoleon, how excellent this water tastes!’
“Reading out the figures in a shrill, rapid voice, he proved to them in detail that they had more oats, more hay, more turnips than they had had in Jones’s day, that they worked shorter hours, that their drinking water was of better quality, that they lived longer, that a larger proportion of their young ones survived infancy, and that they had more straw in their stalls and suffered less from fleas.”
- George Orwell, Animal Farm, Ch. 9
You’ve hit on it.
The “ruling class” now see themselves as the “neo-nobility”.

IN
CONGRESS!!
Most of them don’t know enough to come in out of the rain but they sure as hell know how to construct rules and regs for all the rest of us.
Tupper Saussy traced the word “attorney” back to the Sanskrit word “torwa.” And what does torwa mean?
TO TWIST!!!!
How about we elect some regular folks with common sense, limit their terms to 4 or 6 years and NO FAT, LIFETIME, FULL-SALARY PENSIONS.
BUT, HOUSTON, WE STILL HAVE A PROBLEM!
What is to be done about the HILL RATS? These are the allegedly “professional” staffers who are so named because after the election their current boss loses, they scurry like rats to a new member – ANY MEMBER (his politics frequently don’t matter) – just to remain close to the power. Most are flaming liberals and, after the “experienced” staffer shows the new guy where the john is, because they have been up there for decades, far too many of these new members rely on them for how to vote and get along in the thoroughly corrupt system of “you scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours” that has caused the mess in which we now find ourselves.
IT GETS WORSE!
Let’s say the new guy needs an “expert” on tax policy. Well, son-of-a-gun, the professional staffer JUST HAPPENS to have a college chum who works at the IRS! Need an “expert” on education policy. Darned if that secretary he just hired doesn’t just have an old teacher friend who works over at the Department of Education!
NOW YOU KNOW WHY THE MORE THINGS CHANGE, THE MORE THEY STAY THE SAME – ESPECIALLY IN MALFUNCTION JUNCTION. Looks like we will also need TENURE LIMITS on the Hill Rats with stiff penalties for breaking the rules!
TALK ABOUT UNMITIGATED, BLATANT HUBRIS !!!
One to be named “Pelosi Express”.
