Rep. Charles Rangel: ‘My Constituents Appreciate It’
Pablo Guzman Reporting NEW YORK (CBS) ― You may not realize it, but members of the House of Representatives can lease a car and have it paid for by you — the taxpayer. And it’s not just the car, but gas, registration, insurance … the works.
And as CBS 2 HD found out, there’s no limit on how much they can spend.
Congressman Charles Rangel was recently seen getting out of his Cadillac DeVille, which he leases for $774 per month. Then there was Congressman Jose Serrano, getting out of his Buick LaCrosse, which he leases for $317 per month. And how about this one: Congressman Gregory Meeks was recently seen waiting for Congressman John Conyers to step out of Meeks’ Lexus LS460, which Meeks leases for $998 per month.
All those leases are picked up by taxpayers through a little-known program available only to members of the House of Representatives.

So Democrat Congressman Charlie Rangel thinks his constituents “appreciate” his wasting our money on a luxury gas guzzler on our dime? What constituents was he talking to when he figured that out? The guy who sold him the Cadillac we paid for, or the owner of Gas station he goes to?
I mean give me a break. You can call these other people Hypocrites if you want & that may be true, but at least they are Hypocrites with THEIR OWN MONEY!
The there’s “do as I say, not as I do” Eco-Hypocrisy of Barack Hussein Obama & his big ol’ Chrysler 300, which he quickly dumped for a token hybrid once he got caught by the media with it.
Why are not more people enraged by this disgusting & atrocious Government abuse, while the tax payers are footing the bill?
It’s really crazy, all of it. I’m struggling to keep my 6 cylinder SUV on the road, while Charlie Rangel & his party tells me not to drive one because they’re “bad for the environment.”
Meanwhile Rangel drives a giant Caddy, & Barack Obama (who refuses to support a Gas Tax moratorium for anyone but his own state constituency) parks a Hybrid in his driveway for show, & gets carted around by the Secret Service in Giant SUV’s on the tax payer’s dime..
Obama Gas Hog
