33. What the hell? Flying to see a ball game?

These guys are supposed to be the kings of fiscal austerity (no food stamps/fewer parks) but can - at will - fly anytime they want to ball games and private meetings? I would even question the secondary value of him going to Vegas.

Another divide-and-conquer tactic!
