“Recently, one of the largest poultry producers in America–Pilgrims Pride, just a few miles outside of my Congressional District–had to declare Chapter 11. Maybe we should have a ‘Cash for Cluckers’ program and pay people to eat chicken?Then after that we can have a program to pay people to buy TVs and then a program to pay people to buy lumber. “ -- U.S. Representative Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas, criticizing the Cash for Clunkers program, July, 2009
What this idiot doesn’t realize is that it’s not just about helping an industry or people; it’s also going to reduce emissions and reduce gasoline consumption. Fuckin’ moron.
Here's the video.

It's not government's role to help people or clean up the environment. Government's only purpose is to invade other countries and to spy on it's own citizens. Also to peek into everybody's bedroom and make sure nobody is violating the Old Testament.
Good post Carlos, and excellent comment, Tom!
What I find more and more is that when one of these 'bots gets up and starts criticizing something, their comments make very little sense and seem to illustrate a cognitive disconnect... it's kind of like when Sarah Palin made her comments in her "farewell address" about our servicemen and "connected" that concept to the media... Mrs. Snave and I both heard that and said "Huh?"
That is my reaction to this comment by Hensarling. "Huh?" I don't get what he means.
Dumbass indeed!!
