Campaign finance rules already require sitting office holders to reimburse the government for transportation and security detail for political events. This applies to the president and congressional leaders, who also have access to government provided air planes.

We all abhor certain government programs, but the social covenant says we don't get to pick and choose. We're all in it together, whether we like it or not.
