That Only Makes Sense in Washington…

Kristi Noem’s spending $172 million to buy two small, luxury private jets. For Noem and her department heads to fly around in.

Stop a moment, mull that over: We’re drowning in debt – $37.8 trillion in debt. And adding more debt – $1.8 trillion more – each year.

But we’re spending $172 million to buy luxury jets.

It’s hard to fit the pieces together.

That kind of politics only makes sense in Washington.
