The War Criminal has proposed that the federal government send everyone $100 due to the rising cost of gas. Problems with this include:
- It's our money anyway.
- The government is in debt, which means it will have to borrow to do this.
- One hundred bucks is a freakin joke.
- If we take the $100 and pay for gas with it, it's another handout to the oil companies.
[Speaking of gas - I hope you're only buying your gas from Citgo. That gas comes from Venezuala, not the Bush-friendly shieks. The company is owned by the people of Venezuala (whose president was democratically elected, more than once).]
BUT...in a way, I want this to happen. Why? Because I'm calling for everyone who gets that $100 to donate it to the Progressive political campaign of your choice...or split it up to different ones. Long-term investing, my friends.
Like an investment, you'll have to do your homework to get the best bang for your buck. Make sure you give your money to real Progressives.
Leftie pundits are wondering when the people are going to "rise up". What the hell does that mean? Are they calling for people to storm the White House? I am planning on compiling a list of candidates all over the country who are for actual change so we can send our money around. THAT is one way you can rise up. It will probably be an ongoing list as I'll have to wait for primaries to finish to see who to contribute to.
Stick that 100 bucks right up The War Criminal's ass!
