It took long enough to figure out that Government vehicles are being misused. I see my neighbor out driving around with her family in a Govt. car all the time. By the same token, they should be kept to driving @65 MPH to save gas and our tax money...gee I bet there's a hughe savings on that one. Keep looking and maybe your Governor won't have to reduce salaries and terminate 22,000 people.

My daughter graduated from UCLA with 3.8. Got her masters degree while she worked full time as a teacher. She now makes around %45,000 a year as a teacher. Hmmm...driving the streets of DC for as much as $90,000. Good grief.

So I wonder how much our Governor, is wasting with his cars and fuel? This is completely ridiculous as Americans, it's time we demand change from these people we put into office? Instead of only voting for a new President, we need to make change from top to bottom? I think it's time we let all of these so-called politicians, know we want change if they are not going to chnage we will get rid of them and find people who will! 2 drivers are you serious, get on the freakin bus like most of the country is ding now because of ridiculous gas prices, and having to decide to I feed my children or do I drive? These people in Washington work for us not vice-versa. Shame on you all in Washington, come to meet regular people in normal neighborhoods, and see if life is as easy for us as it is for your ungrateful families and yourself?

This is totally outrageous. Can't they just drive their own vehicle then get reimbursed at 50 cents a mile? Oh I forget. The driver is also a bodyguard.
