It doesn't matter if the executive is the CEO of GM or the CEO of the DEA. They have to travel in style and be protected from the hoi polloi. The DEA has 106 planes at its disposal. Yet, when the administrator had to go to Colombia back in October, the DEA had to hire a jet from a private contractor. Let me correct that last statement, the DEA hired a firm to hire a company that had a jet available for its leader.
Now, our government has a lot more than 106 planes. However, it would have seemed tacky if the DEA asked to use one of these planes. So, $128,000 later the DEA administrator was able to fly to Colombia in style.

Obama seems to be sensitive to gov't excess. Can we provide a solution to him in a concise format that will help him limit/control excesses? I will always remember the story about the $783.63 screwdriver on one of the Pentagon's budgets back in the 70's-80's
