At the least they could have "jet pooled"
Air Force One is a given. But a fleet of business jets, owned and maintained by the Air Force, that get used for any reason, usually "fact finding" trips, by members of Congress, paid for by the taxpayers? Members of Congress, who I already pointed out, enjoy better retirement health care and pension benefits than any of the taxpayers, again paid for by the taxpayers.
