I was watching the local evening news before going to work yesterday evening and the female teleprompter reader said that “Baghdad” Jim McDermott was proposing a bill that would give “gas stamps” (like food stamps, except these buy gas) to “the poor” (folks he wants to have vote for Democrats).
Even though I had no doubt that McDermott would propose such blatant pandering, especially during an election year, I couldn’t believe it until I read it myself. So I hit the interwebs.
And Sure as shit, there it is, right on his website
Rep. McDermott introduces Gas Stamp legislation to assist vulnerable Americans
Which should be read to say: Baghdad Jim wants to give $5 Billion dollars away in free gas cards to those who don’t work hard enough to buy their own gas.
Remember these two welfare queens?
Yeah, these two would get a card. You and I wouldn’t.
If you could prove that you live below the poverty level, you will get $500 bucks in free gas to do whatever the fuck someone with so few job skills that they can’t hold down a full time job does with $500 in free gas.
Meanwhile, you and I get to spend out sixty-plus bucks a week going to and from our fifty-some odd hours per week job to pay the bill for this cocksmoker’s ideas.
We already give them bus passes, isn’t that enough? I mean really, just how “Green” is this jackhole of an idea? Yet for some strange reason, I don’t foresee any of the Global Warming Death Cult organizations coming out in opposition to it.
