I Watch, the website of the Center for Public Integrity, posted an article about the increase in the number of government limosines in use over the first two years of the Obama administration.
According to the article:
"But the number of limos owned by Uncle Sam increased by 73 percent during the first two years of the Obama administration, according to an analysis of records by iWatch News."
The majority of the increase is said to be in the State Department. The article points out:
"The increase in limos comes to light on the heels of an executive order from President Obama last week that charges agencies to increase the fuel efficiency of their fleets."
If you are looking for a place to start cutting government spending...
It is amazing to me that an administration that makes such a fuss about increasing the mileage standards for American cars and driving 'green' cars is increasing the number of limosines used be the government. It really does seem as if there is one set of rules for the 'ruling class' and another set of rules for us common people.
