Stimulus

Well it seems that the entrenched politicos feeding at the insiders trough seem to be gathering to decide just how stimulus money will be spent in Idaho.

After discussing a few items with Senator Joyce Broadsword it seems, one, that the terrible practice of discriminating against those Idaho citizens who receive help from Health & Welfare is just going to continue.

What this means is that, contrary to law, these citizens aren't allowed to file for the sales tax on food refund.

I wonder if the stimulus committee will grant every one receiving help from H & W this refund so that the state tax commission stops establishing classes of recipients. Simply this means that the poor in Idaho do not receive equal protection. It also means that the state is violating the law by establishing classes of recipients do this is blatant discrimination against the poor.

Senator Broadsword says that it just isn't the time to take tax off of food.

I think it is really the correct time to repeal the food tax. It will certainly help the poor when their food stamps run out, it might make the tax commission clean up its act a little bit, and it calls for real efficiency in government (yes people like Claire Cunningham won't be able to wast taxpayer money to run witch hunts against people who have sealed court orders protected by the Idaho Code).

Just the Idaho Way you know....

and of course it is interesting to note that the stimulus panel has no women, no disabled, no indigenous: Just plain no diversity. SOP.
