Executive Councilor Dave Wheeler got a thank you from the Amherst GOP on Twitter yesterday. Wheeler spoke against rubber-stamping another $250,000.00 in taxpayer money for a program that already had $1.7 million allocated to it through 2017. (I just fisked the crap out of that here, if you need details.) The program pays to fix up cars that then go to eligible welfare recipients.
Thank you Councilor Wheeler for fighting govt waste and standing up for taxpayers! #nhpolitics https://t.co/6JgqzFsFbi

According to former NH Democrat state party Chair Kathy Sullivan, poor people can’t leave home without it.
.@AmherstGOP if poor person lived in Amherst, how do they get 2 job or job training w/ no car? Penny wise, pound foolish @nhgop #nhpolitics

Kathy considers herself to be a pragmatic problem solver. A member of the enlightened class. But the light never shines any deeper than the depth of her rhetoric, so I figured I’d join in the fun.
.@NHKathySullivan how do people who can't drive or lost their license for (say) DWI get to work? @Conservativeind https://t.co/plyA1T5UjI

There can be no honest response. It would force Democrats to come up with a logical explanation as to why people who don’t want to or can’t drive ever managed to get to their job, or taxpayer-funded job training, or a grocery store, the liquor store to buy lottery tickets or even a polling place without the aid of taxpayer money and Captains of progressive benevolence like Kathy Sullivan who help guide it into the “hands” of those most likely to reward her or her party.
The truth is that people with a little desire and self-responsibility have been getting done what needs doing without taxpayer money for centuries. But that is something for which the Democrat party just will not stand.
Update from Twitter. Peter Cobb had a suggestion.
