Ron Paul wants big spending cuts as president, spends big on first-class travel in Congress

WASHINGTON — Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul has been spending large amounts on airfare as a congressman, flying first class on dozens of taxpayer-funded flights to his home state. The practice conflicts with the image that Paul portrays as the only presidential candidate serious about cutting federal spending.

 

Paul flew first class on at least 31 round-trip flights and 12 one-way flights since May 2009 when he was traveling between Washington and his district in Texas, according to a review by The Associated Press of his congressional office expenses.

Really, THIS AGAIN???? I remember reading something like this a while back on infowars..it was BS then , its BS now.

Imagine a congressman who actually does his job, travels to educate the people and doesn't fly on the dime of special interest and lobbies. ooooh the horror!

Wow, they're really grasping at straws with this story. Oh my god, he travels 1st class.... run for the hills.
