Last year, lawmakers excoriated the CEOs of the Big Three automakers
for traveling to Washington, D.C., by private jet to attend a hearing
about a possible bailout of their companies.
But apparently Congress is not philosophically averse to
private air travel: At the end of July, the House approved nearly $200
million for the Air Force to buy three elite Gulfstream jets for
ferrying top government officials and Members of Congress.
