Congress buying 2 new jets for itself

So says Jack Cafferty of CNN.

He says

“The House has approved almost $200 million to buy three brand new Gulfstream jets — two of them meant for members of Congress and other top government officials. These jets can fly faster than 600-miles an hour; and can go non-stop from Washington to as far as China or Japan without refueling.”

Reports say the funding for these Gulfstream jets was pushed through by two members of the committee — both from Georgia, where they are made. One of these congressmen tells ABC News that buying the jets “supports local industry” and will mean jobs for his constituents.
