Amazing ... or disgusting. Your choice.

It's typical Washington way: Use money from another program to pay for a
bill and then re-instate the money to the original other program at a
later date. In other words .. cheating. What happened to this whole
PAYGO nonsense? PAYGO counts only when the party in power wants it to
count ... and only then.
Here's what's happening. Nancy Pelosi has
called the House back to Washington this week to vote on a $26 billion
state aid bill, To the serious observer this bill bails out government
worker unions with a $10 billion emphasis on teacher's unions. Being a
slave to the Democrat party has its rewards. So here's how the Democrats plan to pay for this ....
Liberal Democrats said they will vote for a $26.1
billion state aid bill when the House reconvenes this week but are
committed to restoring the food stamps program funding that is being
used to pay for it ...
Nearly half of the state aid bill's
cost is being offset by taking $12 billion from the Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program, which is the official name for the food
stamps program. The bill finds those savings by ending in 2014 a
stimulus program that has increased food stamp levels.
Make
no mistake, the Democrats WILL manage to restore this 2014 stimulus to
the food stamp program. I mean, how else are they going to get
re-elected if they don't transfer massive amounts of wealth to the
moocher class and keeping them fat-and-happy on government cheese? It
just goes to show the current mentality in Washington. These people who
claim to be upset with our current deficit and claim that we need to do
something about our spending habits, but then continue to pass
legislation like this .... They continue to fund their vote-buying
programs at ever-increasing levels and then blame our current woes on
the fact that the evil rich aren't paying their fair share in taxes and
we need to increase their taxes!
Amazing ... or disgusting. Your choice.
