A stranded traveler on Saturday won over the Internet after saying what so many across America were thinking as the chaos from Friday’s nationwide ground stop continues.
As Mediaite reported, CNN’s Leigh Waldman spoke to travelers Friday night at Los Angeles International Airport who were still stranded.
One couple, Billie Jean and Allan Paul, had some choice things to say while waiting to return home to Houston.
The two were on a 54th wedding anniversary cruise and missing their high school reunion.
“The price of the room was $133, and it went up to $300,” the Pauls told Waldman.
“Yes, in one hour. In our time,” Billie Jean said. “As soon as it came, ‘Cancel,’ everything changed. The price of the rental car was going to be $50, and it went up to $200.”
“No, it was $300 for the rental car,” Alan said. “But we had — we took what was available.”
Alan then had a very blunt message to Congress.
“Quit sending money abroad and take care of sh*t at home!” the man said. “That’s what I say.”

One person within the Trump Administration likely agrees with Alan.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is requesting a whopping $50 billion in emergency funding from Congress to fix the U.S. air traffic control (ATC) and airspace systems.
Otherwise, he argues, these types of failures will continue.
“What went down was old, right? It was the old legacy equipment. It failed,” Duffy said during a Friday night press conference. “And listen, it’s going to continue to fail.”
“This is an emergency. I want Congress to give us emergency funding,” Duffy continued. “This is bipartisan. This is American. I want $50 billion.”
Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) also signaled agreement with Alan.
“When the U.S. government spends money on things it shouldn’t, the few things it’s uniquely authorized to do get neglected,” he wrote on X. “Time for a constitutional reset.”
