Politicians should follow own rules

Here is a bit of information about the stimulus package that isn't too well known. Of the 250 bills attached to the package, only 11 are for the benefit of the people! The package need not contain $300 million for Acorn (weren't they involved in a vote scandal?). The Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, doesn't need a new, larger airplane for travel. Why can't she buy a ticket like the rest of us have to! The Congress and the Senate told executives that they had to get rid of the corporate jets or no money. Well, isn't Nancy Pelosi a kind of executive? Didn't our new President state that this kind of garbage would not occur while he was President? Well, guess what? Pork is alive and well and feeding off our money!
