Bo-4
Senator
Yes, the subject line was intended to illicit laughter. I suppose that The Creepy Munster Kid is a deep thinker when compared to Louie Gohmert, but this is yet another of his awesome plans to kill the social safety net.
Don't get me wrong, there are a few good ideas in this "discussion memo", most of which have already been floated by Dems and this president. But handing the money (block grants) over to the states?
Yeah right, governors like Brewer, Snyder, Perry and Scott will love that. Oh you say: but Fast Eddy will have an "independent oversight" in each state. Appointed of course by ... the governor for their total impartiality!

The devil would be in the details; what if a state decided to take its entire block grant and devote it to giving lectures to poor people on why they should get married?
So thanks Paul, for yet another turdish non-starter and more of your Randian "deep thinking". Even "Wolfie" is gonna hate this one!
