Eric Holder is jetting his family around for recreational events on the taxpayers dime...
Worst Attorney General ever...
Via Daily Caller:
Via Daily Caller:
On a pleasant Saturday this summer, Eric Holder, his daughters, their boyfriends and two security officers boarded a government-owned Gulfstream and jetted off to New York for the Belmont Stakes Thoroughbred horse race.
Even for personal trips like this, the attorney general doesn’t fly commercial. For security reasons, Holder — like other top government officials — flies a government plane, though is required to reimburse taxpayers for airfare.
According to records obtained by The Daily Caller through a Freedom of Information Act request, Holder is getting pretty good deal here — especially when he flies a government-owned Gulfstream V jet.
That one day trip to Elmont, N.Y. on June 7, according to records provided to TheDC by the Department of Justice, ended up costing the government $14,440.
But Holder only had to reimburse the government $955 for flying him and four passengers to the final leg of the Triple Crown horse races that day.
That’s because he only has to pay the equivalent cost of a coach commercial airline ticket for each non-law enforcement passenger — not the total cost to charter the plane.

Taxpayer's Hero: Presumptive Speaker Boehner will fly commercial

NRO reported:
Presumptive Speaker Boehner just told reporters he’s flown commercial for 20 years and will continue to do so as Speaker.

Will Nancy Pelosi Have to Go Back To Flying On A Broomstick?

She may have to if one Congressman, Rep. Bill Posey (R-Fla), gets his wish. Pelosi has issued a House rules change requiring all members to fly coach on the taxpayers dime, but she flies on a private military jet, often with her family, while they wine and dine on the taxpayers dime.
Judicial Watch has received documents under Freedom of Information Act about Nancy Pelosi's use of military aircraft for travel. Pelosi has racked up over $2 million in expenses over the last two years. Over $100 thousand was for "in-flight services" like booze and food.
Rep. Posey is offering an amendment to the 2011 Defense Authorization bill which requires the speaker to lead by example and also fly coach.
Rep. Bill Posey, R-Fla., announced today he applauded Pelosi's new House rules-change that bans all members of Congress from flying first class on the taxpayer's dime.
And to help the speaker enforce the new rules, Posey said in an announcement, he is offering an amendment to the FY 2011 Defense Authorization bill which requires the speaker to lead by example and also fly coach. The move, he said, would spare taxpayers the $28,000 it costs per flight for her personal military aircraft when she travels back and forth to her home in San Francisco....
