Politicians are always in for funny things.
Take this graph about the spending of the American Congress on travel.
The busiest travel period is August when they are in recess.

Now this one is coming from Dan Ferris:
Remember when members of Congress chastised the Big Three auto executives for flying to Washington on private jets? The message the government was sending to big business was clear... "You will not squander taxpayers' money." Congress didn't want big business wasting government money because, of course, that's their job... And the government hates competition.In an ironic turn, the House just approved almost $200 million for the Air Force to buy three top-of-the-line Gulfstream 550 jets (at $65 million apiece) for transporting top government officials and congressmen.Here's the catch, the Air Force only asked for one jet as part of a routine upgrade to its passenger air service, but the House Appropriations Committee took it upon themselves to add another $132 million to the Defense bill for two more jets to be stationed in Washington, D.C. Nobody can waste our money like the U.S. government
I love Americans.
