"While the government has a responsibility to fund disaster response in places that were devastated by Hurricane Irene or other natural disasters, it is unconscionable to use funds designed to create jobs in manufacturing states to pay for it," Reps. Gary Peters, D-Mich., and Anna Eshoo, D-Calif.
Why are taxpayers on the hook for people who decide to live in hurricane or earthquake zones? Those people should be paying the insurance premium based on their risky lifestyle, not stealing from taxpayers in what amounts to risk subsidies.
Why are taxpayers gouged for “green jobs” that it is abundantly clear are not sustainable, and as demonstrated by our job loss, not even real jobs? The market should make these decisions, and in fact has done so, while the bureaucracy throws money away fighting reality.
It’s time to eschew Peters and Eshoo, two more liberals driving jobs out of America with excessive taxes, driving up our cost of living with subsidies to their voter base, driving up our debt with their tax and spend lunacy.
