Pelosi to Italy- who pays for her flight ???

Feb 15, 2009 by Sam

Nancy Pelosi who has been screaming together with the rest of the politicians about wasting capital decided to take a trip to Italy. I have several problems with that and how it is completely inconsistent to her positions on CEOs..

1)  Can anyone identify this type of plane – does not seem to be military-

expensive to fly.. see photo ( update: seems to be airforce 2)

how much does this cost taxpayers…. ? 

she complains about taxpayer money waste

and she can go on taxpayer money to Italy …

update: as per Pelosi’s own statment…. “part of the trip is to  We will engage in discussions on the need for bilateral and multilateral cooperation in confronting the global economic crisis, defeating terrorist networks, and curbing global warming.” . Ok so she flies on a jumbo jet which cost taxpayers money and causes global warming- and she will talk about the global economic crisis and about global warming… only in washington….

It is probably the c-32 http://www.af.mil/factsheets/factsheet.asp?id=90 which is the VP’s plane airforce 2 (another taxpayer sponsored luxury)
