Governor Hat-In-Hand
.
Juanita thought it was amusing when Governor Rick Perry, after hating Washington DeeCee so much that he wanted to secede from the union, stood asking “where’s my money, Mr. President, huh? Huh?”
And now she finds out that those Republican Wisconsin State Senators hatin’ on DeeCee had their hats in their hands, too.
At least three of the Wisconsin state Senate Republicans currently demanding that public workers sacrifice benefits, wages and even collective bargaining rights for the sake of the budget have applied for and received hundreds of thousands of dollars in federal farm subsidies, a Huffington Post review of state and federal records shows.
From 1995 through 2009, state Sens. Luther Olsen, Dale Schultz and Sheila Harsdorf all had stakes in farms that received between them more than $300,000 in taxpayer funds.
“Oh Lord, if you have time today, please go about making hypocrisy painful. It’d help us a lot down here,” Juanita asks humbly.
Thanks to Carl for the heads-up.
