Steak and lobster. Lots of it. Sounds absolutely wonderful.
Look what they're apparently having to drink with this food. Farookin' Mountain Dew? 120 cans of the stuff?
But wait a minute! My tax dollars are paying for someone else to eat this?
This is so wrong on so many levels.
I hear ads on the radio imploring people to sign up for food stamps. The ads carefully explain that just because you have a job and are making money doesn't mean you can't qualify for food stamps. They also explain that just because you pay income taxes doesn't mean you can't qualify, either.
I wonder what does disqualify you? I have a job. I pay income taxes. Can I get free lobster and steak, too? But if drinking Mountain Dew is part of the deal, then count me out.
Seriously for a moment – how can we fix insanity like this? I can only think of one way: throw all the bums out of political office, and start over with a collection of randomly selected ordinary citizens.
That ain't gonna happen, I know. But it's the only solution I can think of (short of an actual revolution) that stands a chance of working...
