This is an outrage! I'm trying to work up as much self-righteous lather as I can over this latest piece of Democrat insanity, but I just can't stop laughing at it: Wild horses couldn’t keep Democrats from spending money
House Democrats plan to hold a vote on the “Restore Our American
Mustangs Act” (H.R.1018), which would create a new $700 million welfare
program for wild horses. This floor action comes at a time when
unemployment has soared to 9.5 percent, a 26-year high, and the federal
deficit has grown to a historic $1 trillion.
Here’s what HR1018 proposes to do with the $700 million:
- Conducts a horse census every two years
- Provides “enhanced contraception” and birth control for horses
- Establishes an additional 19 million acres of public and private land for wild horses
- Covers $5 million tab to repair horse damage to land
- Mandates that government bureaucrats perform home inspections before Americans can adopt horses
Birth control … for horses. How exactly does that restore
the mustang population? If it needs “restoring”, doesn’t that suggest
that we need to encourage reproduction rather than launching a mustang
safe-sex program? Of course, mustang rubbers would make each
successive “horse census” easier, assuming mustangs can figure out how
to wear them.
When it comes to crafting bills that are full of horse pucky, this Congress may be the best evah. More at the link above.
