JD Vance shows total disregard for taxpayers' money.

It is being reported that he has been looking for a home in Virginia. And he has been using his government helicopter to ferry about from one side of town to the other in his search. His "search" will probably end up costing more than his house? An hour of helicopter time costs about $20K per hour. This could turn rather expensive. But, since the taxpayers are paying for it, who cares? They only care if it is food stamp or money spent on poor people.

Also, it has been reported that he has used the helicopter to transport his son to his golf lessons. What next? These Republicans talk about saving taxpayer dollars but they spend like drunken sailors.
