The
Redistributionist-In-Chief is now
waging re-election on the proposition you have sympathy for the richest stuffed puppet on Earth.
According to this data, Big Bird is even richer than the evil Mitt Romney himself! And only 12% of these riches come from public funding!
Look,kiddies, this is about a federal budget that is driving us over the cliff of fiscal armageddon. If we can't let Big Bird thrive as a private entity - and he certainly would - we are fiscally doomed. If we can't do this, how are we ever going to get around to eliminating whole agencies with unbroken records of failure - like Education and Energy, for example?
End crony puppetism. Big Bird needs to start standing on his own orange three-toed feet.
Update
The crony puppet runs for cover, recognizing now is not a good time to be front and center as the poster child for gub'ment subsidy.
