Walking around money:
"Also called street money. Political Slang . cash sums given by political managers, district leaders, or the like, to grass-roots workers and others for expenses incurred while canvassing for votes or doing other chores before an election."
Time was when a few hundred bucks or a few thousand in the right community organizer's pockets or the local preachers plate could furnish all the votes necessary to win the next election. Apparently not any more...... so now of course - they want us taxpayers to foot these larger bills.
On Monday, Aug 13, the US Labor Department announced that they were making $100 MILLION dollars in GRANTS (read no pay back) to the various states to keep people on the job. Ostensibly to give employers an alternative to layoffs (coincidentally three months before a national election), this money will be given to employers for their use to supplement the difference between part time pay and full time pay for employees otherwise marked for layoffs or cutbacks. And keep those folks happy until after November 6th.
This from a government that can't even keep track of hundreds of tax refund checks going to one address. I can see the hustlers across the country licking their chops.
I'm sure y'all think I make this kinda stuff up - 'cause it's hard to believe.... but I'll link you to a couple of different sources, one of which is the Dept of Labor, itself.
Anybody have any doubts if the bulk of this money will find it's way into the battle ground states? I don't! Gives a whole new meaning to that expression "You didn't win that election - the taxpayers bought it for you!"
