A government-backed bus service for seniors in Sullivan County, New Hampshire, is scheduled to stop running on September 9th because it will run out of money. According to the Union Leader, the ‘non-profit’ needs $775,000.00 a year to stay operational, and in the past money has come primarily from the Feds via the NHDOT and Sullivan County.
To be honest, I’m not sure why the feds are involved. We waste a fortune at the state level that could just as easily be directed toward other programs.
Good News Garage gets and wastes a ton of money on administration costs. That program is “managed” by a huge national non-profit that makes its millions bringing in refugees who create an even larger tax burden on state residents.
We waste millions of tax dollars on Planned Parenthood, a private corporation that is so rich it can spend $1.5 million on lobbying politicians every year. The politicians get lobbied to the keep the tax money rolling in while using the force of government (and the will of an entire political party) to protect Planned Parenthood’s business model and services.
Priorities, right?
Our Democrat governor, Maggie Hassan, proposed cutting Nursing Home funding while funding abortion clinics, so the demise of a bus service for seniors under her watch is no stretch.
Of course, if there were more young people around to provide rides, even through discounted services by ride-sharing companies like Uber or Lyft, this might be less an issue. But then, keeping young people around is also an issue.
And isn’t that ironic?
If Planned Parenthood stopped killing them in the womb, we’d have more of them around to give seniors a ride.
You can’t keep what you don’t have.
