[Rhodes22-list] Your Tax Dollars At Work

[benonvelvetelvis at theskinnyonbenny.com]

You know what's interesting about all of those trailers motoring down?  The RV
lots here are still full of trailers for sale.  So FEMA decided that it was a
better idea to buy out RV's hundreds of miles away and then pay for the gas and
drivers to get them here, rather than buy the ones that are already here!  Go figure.
