Hmm, yes, wasting taxpayer money on joyrides, what a "badass" thing to do...

It wasn’t a government plane so not sure what taxpayer money was wasted.

You think she paid for the fuel? Ans even if she did, she got taxpayer money for her job, which included attending official functions.

You think the First Lady was drawing a salary in 1933? It was a commercial aircraft. I’m sure they loved the publicity of two of the most famous women in the US flying in one of those planes. However, you think that they asked the ladies to pay for the fuel, and Eleanor said, “just bill it to the government”? Keep doubling down on your statement though. Makes you look cool.

Is this supposed of gotcha to "expose" me?

Elaborate on taxpayer wasting. Imagine if you knew about the waste on federal bases.

So because it happens elsewhere too it means this one isn't a problem? That's a pretty steep slope there, hope you don't slip on it.

This one most certainly isn’t. You have zero proof of any taxpayer funds being used.
