I disagree with this proposal. Many major cities offer reduced bus passes.
Many cities also offer taxi vouchers for those who need to get to a Dr's appointment.

Looks like I clicked on an old bill idea.
This is what was in the news to night.

Got to keep the huddled masses huddled and not rioting in the streets. Guess it's easier to give away gas than to make gas cheaper.

I'm a frikken vulnerable Amerikan.  I pay more like a $1000 a month more for fuel -- not a year.  How vulnerable is that.  I'm nearly gonna weep.  Toss me a hankie.  

Now they want me to subsidize gas so the welfare recipients can get to the post office to pick up their welfare checks hmm

Don't get me wrong -- I have nothing against someone who is in genuine need. 

Maybe I should subsidize John McCain when he goes to cash his broken SS check as his wife won't share her millions with him.


Crimoney.  Let's tar and feather some politicians.

Freebies for deadbeats has always been a major plank in the Democratic Parties platform for as long as I can remember.  If Obama gets into office and has his way we will be overwhelmed by this type of politics I do believe. The process doesn't define need well enough and like most systems it can be manipulated. It has always been a tough question because it involves an emotional decision rather than a business decision.

Freebies for deadbeats or freebies for billionaires. Pick one.
