On YOUR Dime: Congressmen Lease Luxury Cars
Little-Known But Exploited Loophole Allows Politicians To Drive, Maintain Expensive Cars, SUVs On Taxpayer Money..

Rep. Charles Rangel: ‘My Constituents Appreciate It’

Pablo Guzman Reporting NEW YORK (CBS) ― You may not realize it, but members of the House of Representatives can lease a car and have it paid for by you — the taxpayer. And it’s not just the car, but gas, registration, insurance … the works.

And as CBS 2 HD found out, there’s no limit on how much they can spend.

Congressman Charles Rangel was recently seen getting out of his Cadillac DeVille, which he leases for $774 per month. Then there was Congressman Jose Serrano, getting out of his Buick LaCrosse, which he leases for $317 per month. And how about this one: Congressman Gregory Meeks was recently seen waiting for Congressman John Conyers to step out of Meeks’ Lexus LS460, which Meeks leases for $998 per month.

All those leases are picked up by taxpayers through a little-known program available only to members of the House of Representatives.

So Democrat Congressman Charlie Rangel thinks his constituents “appreciate” his wasting our money on a luxury gas guzzler on our dime? What constituents was he talking to when he figured that out? The guy who sold him the Cadillac we paid for, or the owner of Gas station he goes to?

I mean give me a break. You can call these other people Hypocrites if you want & that may be true, but at least they are Hypocrites with THEIR OWN MONEY!

The there’s “do as I say, not as I do” Eco-Hypocrisy of Barack Hussein Obama & his big ol’ Chrysler 300, which he quickly dumped for a token hybrid once he got caught by the media with it.

Why are not more people enraged by this disgusting & atrocious Government abuse, while the tax payers are footing the bill?

It’s really crazy, all of it. I’m struggling to keep my 6 cylinder SUV on the road, while Charlie Rangel & his party tells me not to drive one because they’re “bad for the environment.”

Meanwhile Rangel drives a giant Caddy, & Barack Obama (who refuses to support a Gas Tax moratorium for anyone but his own state constituency) parks a Hybrid in his driveway for show, & gets carted around by the Secret Service in Giant SUV’s on the tax payer’s dime..

One of the foremost experts on hurricane forecasting says he may soon lose funding due to his open skepticism about man-made global warming, according to a report in the Houston Chronicle.

Dr. William Gray, who once said that pro-global warming scientists are “brainwashing our children,” says that Colorado State University will no longer promote his yearly North Atlantic hurricane forecasts due to his views on “Global Warming.”

Gray sent a memo to the head of Colorado State’s Department of Atmospheric Sciences that reportedly read:”this is obviously a flimsy excuse and seems to me to be a cover for the Department’s capitulation to the desires of some (in their own interest) who want to reign in my global warming and global warming-hurricane criticisms,” the Houston Chronicle reports.

Interesting that the Science community is using the same exact techniques to harass Professor Gray, that Ben Stein describes in his movie “Expelled”. Expelled is a movie that reveals how the science community ostracizes any individual in academia who will not blindly go along with their big Darwinist, anti-intelligent design cult.

Now we are starting to see glaring examples of irrefutable scientific geniuses being treated the same way, by people with interests in big money grants to chase the latest scientific fads.

This was their excuse at a prestigious University? School officials denied that Gray’s stand on global warming was an issue, and said that they are cutting back on media support for his forecasts due to the strain it places on the school’s lone media staffer.

So you’re telling me that they can’t afford another media staffer to make sure the work of a world renowned climatologist gets published? Ya right… Come on people! Be real, Ok?

Keep in mind that all this Global Warming hysteria is a big part of the reason we are paying too much for gas! US citizens need to combat this on every front for the good of our economy.

Office of the President of Colorado State University.

Please take the time to write the staff & especially the administrative staff of the University to tell them what your thoughts are on silencing the views of others in a free society. The atmospheric dept contacts can be found here.

Please be courteous in your correspondence. Who knows, maybe at some point these scientists will listen to reason, whereas “reason” is something they have a personal stake in preserving. Political ideologies change & fade like paint, but reasoning will always be there for us, if we listen for it.
