First step to Reigning in government spending

How's this for an idea.  Do you know the president has two (2) 747 jumbo jet aircraft to use at his disposal, no questions asked?  Probably not.  Do you know how much each cost the American taxpayer to purchase for an individual whose greatest attribute to mankind each election cycle is to reach yet another level of mastery in the art of lying?  Neither do I, but I have read, and you can find this anywhere you care to research, that the annual cost per aircraft (low estimate) is almost 300, wait for it, million dollars per year.  Wow.  I'm sure glad the American citizen has been brainwashed into thinking one man is worth a minimum of $600,000,000 per year, just in vacation expenses.  Plus all other expenses paid for by the taxpayer.  Oh, and we also see fit to pay the man a salary for his "service" to the rest of the country.  So there you have it.  While we're at it, maybe we could stop funding members of congress' health insurance and stop paying them over $100,000 per year for the rest of their life for getting elected to one (1) term in office.  And I thought of that in just a little over 5 minutes.  A spade is a spade.
