You can't make this up: House Republicans just snuck a provision to help private jet owners avoid state and local taxes into a major AIR SAFETY bill!
Instead of working to prevent another mid-air collision, the GOP is more concerned with making their wealthy donors even richer.

You needed $25 to attend the 1989 Finals. Today, that would be $67.
Reality? The average ticket to last year's NBA Finals: $1,147. 17x the inflation-adjusted price.
