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 | CBS News
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.

I'm sure that at least 80 %
of Congressman in the US are on the take. why do you think so many look the other way and just sign off on anything that gets put on their desks . I guarantee Ron Paul looks every new legislation over with a fine toothed comb and that's why he's called DR NO!

32 diggs I've been looking
32 diggs
I've been looking for the source used by CBS but have been unable to find it. I then called my congressman to find out what he drives when in Washington but he/staff is not answering the phone. Does anywhere know where to look to find out what our individual congressmen drive?
**the soul would have no rainbow if the eyes had no tears**
What a freaking joke.
What the frick is wrong with these clowns?!

I agree with you. Now what the hell do we do about it?
That
is my house payment.before my equity line.
It really is our fault. We
It really is our fault. We were supposed to be taking our role of the People ruling America MUCH more seriously than we have in the recent past.
When we elect them
they think we have crowned them. After all, they vote for their own pay raises.
When we elect them??
Have you not realized that we haven't really elected them? It is just a charade to make us think we are.
shame
Shame on the Washington wasters of tax money.
Liberty is our campaigns gift to the world it is our manifest destiny.
Freedom is a movement who's time has come. Our campaign will lead world wide freedom.

Must be nice to attain perks like that. But at the expense of others...
This is Outrageous!!
