In a bid to kill two birds with one stone, Democrats in congress have introduced the Transportation and Housing Options for Gas Price Relief Act of 2008. This bill calls for the federal government to issue every American a good pair of walking shoes and mandates that large appliance boxes be set aside as temporary housing for those who lose their homes due to mortgage defaults.
The beauty of this plan is that the housing will be portable, said an enthusiastic Representative Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore). People will be able to live closer to jobs they can walk to. We will simultaneously strike a blow at both suburban sprawl and obesity. Im confident well look back on these days as a blessing because we were motivated to make changes we all know we have to make, but lacked the will to make without the pressure of high gas prices and mortgage foreclosures.

This is pretty close to the nonsense that Dhimmis typically propose.
I guess the Amish with their latest horse and buggy models would be a big hit with the hippies. But then again the government might start taking big Amish so they might want to lay low.

No, the hippies won’t like the horse and buggies becasue we’ll be abusing the horses.
Do animal-rights activists ever use that phrase?

I though that they wanted to use the gas to burn down the houses. Two birds with one stoned.
You’re probably right.
