Congress-critters Dig Deep - Into your pockets

The members of the house of representatives have decided sometime in the past that reform was desperately needed - in their household budgets that is.  So they crafted a rule that allows them to LEASE anything they want to, pay for the insurance, upkeep and gas all on the taxpayer's dime.  What does this amount to in real terms?

435 congress-critters x $500.00 monthly lease payments x 12 months = $2,610,000.00

435 congress-critters x $1,500.00 due at signing the lease = $ 652,500.00

435 congress-critters x $2,000.00 per year for insurance = $870,000.00

435 congress-critters x $1000.00 per year in routine maintanance = $435,000.00

435 congress-critters x 20,000 miles per year at 20 mpg avg x 3.75/gal = $1,631,250.00

Grand Total (and I believe these to be fairly conservative estimates) = $6,198,750.00

Charlie Rangel, D-NY says his constituents EXPECT him to drive that Cadillac to show respect for the folk paying for it.  Charlie, can you say Bull Sh*t?

I expect Rangel to get a different job one day, but I don't know if it will ever happen.

Can anyone say the word grandiloquent? Maybe I could say that in my opinion Mr. Rangel is maniloquent. How about if I charge that Mr. Rangel seems to me to be pontifical, pompous, prodigious ass of a man, in my opinion. But why should I be so redundant?

4 You are too optomistic when you think that the leased autos get an average of 20mpg. An average of 12 mpg is much more likely. 20mpg is the sales figure, based optomistically on highway travel. Stop and go in city is likely to average about 5mpg. and that only if you drive economically.
