WE--THE TAXPAYERS ARE PAYING FOR THESE FLIGHTS.  I have a friend who is a flight attendant. She tells me they fly them all over. They ask them where they want to go and they fly them there. Usually they are going to where they know someone or have family or have these wonderful charitable churches who are re-distributing their contributions toward this.  Soon, these churches will run out of money, though, and then the burdens will fall on whatever states they are in.
