Republican Tea ParTay Logic (such as it is): spending $1 billion + to save $16.5 million

House Republicans had demanded the $16.5 million in subsidy cuts as part of a bill to continue the FAA's operating authority. Senate Democrats repeatedly tried and failed to pass their own bill without the cuts.

The FAA's operating authority expired 11 days ago, as well as the authority of airlines to collect about $30 million a day in ticket taxes. If allowed to continue until Congress returns to work next month, the cost in lost revenue will be an estimated $1.2 billion.

1. I worked for a company like that.

"We save money no matter how much it costs!"

They went bankrupt.

2. Well, the (R) Tea ParTay are doing a good job of following your X-bosses footsteps.

Yay.
