It appears that the Democrats are planning ahead for the day when every man, woman and child in the United States is on welfare and they’re forced to broaden the safety net to include other critters.
They’ve introduced a bill called the “Restore Our American Mustangs Act” (H.R.1018) that would create a brand spankin’ new $700 million entitlement program for wild horses.
If passed, the ROAM Act will “invest” your 700 million taxpayer dollars by:
• Conducting a wild horse census every two years (ACORN will immediately form a new subsidiary called OATS to oversee the count)
• Providing “enhanced contraception” and birth control for the wild mustangs (We didn’t know that wild horses practiced contraception in the first place so we’re a bit baffled as to what “enhanced” contraception might be. Perhaps we’ll be supplying the mares with morning after pills and guaranteeing their right to choose)
• Supplying $5 million to repair the damage the horses inflict upon the land (If you were a landlord and the horses were tenants, you’d evict them)
• Designating an additional 19 million acres of public and private land as wild horse habitat (If we understand this correctly, they damage the land so we’re going to supply them with 19 million more acres to damage)
• Mandating that government bureaucrats conduct home inspections before Americans can adopt the wild mustangs (At long last Madonna and Angelina will be able to stop adopting African horses)
The Mr. Ed theme song says, “A horse is a horse, of course, of course.”
The corollary is that “A horse’s ass is a horse’s ass, and we hope this will never pass.”
