House Democrats plan to hold a vote on the “Restore Our American Mustangs Act” (H.R.1018), which would create a new $700 million welfare program for wild horses. This floor action comes at a time when unemployment has soared to 9.5 percent, a 26-year high, and the federal deficit has grown to a historic $1 trillion.
Here’s what HR1018 proposes to do with the $700 million:
- Conducts a horse census every two years
- Provides “enhanced contraception” and birth control for horses
- Establishes an additional 19 million acres of public and private land for wild horses
- Covers $5 million tab to repair horse damage to land
- Mandates that government bureaucrats perform home inspections before Americans can adopt horses
Birth control … for horses. How exactly does that restore the mustang population? If it needs “restoring”, doesn’t that suggest that we need to encourage reproduction rather than launching a mustang safe-sex program? Of course, mustang rubbers would make each successive “horse census” easier, assuming mustangs can figure out how to wear them.
When it comes to crafting bills that are full of horse pucky, this Congress may be the best evah. More at the link above.
From Scott,
"But what if we tweaked the bill a little? You could replace horse with say, illegal immigrant. I would say you could drop the adoption part, but I'm sure Brangelina would want a few. Also I bet we could get a good deal on the 19 million acres in Mexico................I'm just saying."
