Paul & Grayson: The War Is Making You Poor Act

Courtesy of EB

Fresh off his "You own the Red Roof Inn" tour, Alan Grayson gives another svelte performance as he introduces the latest soon-to-be buried-in-committee bill with the help of his trusty easel.  Soon-to-be buried because the bill, co-sponsored by Ron Paul, would exempt the first $35,000 in income for each person in America from federal taxation,  putatively helping the average Joe while simultaneously forcing a hint of fiscal responsibility.  As Grayson introduces it:

It requires the administration to carry out the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan with only–that’s "only"–the $549 billion set force in the President’s budget for defense spending, without the additional $159 billion the President has asked for–for the sake of the so-called emergency war which stretches on for 9 years in one case and 7 years in the other…

In case you missed it, here’s the Red Roof Inn special.  And, as an aside, we’re sure the sarcasm-laced easel and posterboard method of introducing legislation will catch on as congressman wake up to the 21st century and finally realize Al Gore’s invention can make even the most empty chamber under the rotunda worth the taxpayer dollars used to fund the CSPAN-8 cameras.
