Is this satire?

Why do Libtards think that the Gov’t spending money is a a ‘good’ thing; unless that money is for Defense?

“From this perspective, paying $16 for a muffin is far more effective than laying out the more typical $2 that the average person might pay for such an item. That the government has the wherewithal and the sense to do this is something we should all be thankful for.”

A new twist on keynesian 'economics' perhaps?

Thanks John.

Actually the hotel said it wasn’t just a muffin. Muffin was the word used to let them know what they got which was also fruit and a few other things.

In other words the muffin alone was not $16.
Based on the muffin, the coffee was also probably a coffee and something else.

Could be that 60+% of all federal spending is in some way tainted..

Much of it goes to Unions.. in one way or another.
From highways to federal workers.. to government contractors of every stripe..

Only 1/3 of the people on SSA are old people..
So up to 2/3rds of that money could stolen..

Medicare is known to be corrupted.. who knows where the drug benefits go..
Much of all federal spending could be corrupt..

For sure current congress AND retired congress Members are bleeding the system heavily..
What ex-Presidents get is obscene.. even House members are made men in the Mob sense of the word..

Same could be true in the States as well..
BAD in some States.. highway robbery in others..

Even local political graft is or has been becoming Mob like..
but then democracy is indeed MOB Rule by mobsters..
to expect any less would not be realistic..

Ron Paul wants a return to the Constitution..
And many call him crazy... that would require a very small federal government..
and many republicans WANT a bigger federal government.. but won’t admit it..
denial is not just a river in Egypt..

But....but with $16 muffins and $8 coffee you get refills on the coffee. So it’s not as bad as it sounds.

The fishing is still good today, John!

Oh my, so close to reality. Thank John for the ping.

[Patriot Babe]

If I had to pay 16 bucks for a muffin, that muffin better be dam sure it taste hell of good.

[BfloGuy]

I was expecting the part about Bachmann attacking Perry for supporting $16 muffins — for 12 year old little girls.

[Smokin' Joe]

Hey! Satire you can sink your teeth into! Another good one, John!

[Little Ray]

Thank you for another superb piece of satire and proving that separating government policy from absurdity is darn near impossible.

Great job, John. Don't you just love Jay Carney? My, how he can twist things.

By-the-way, how long has it been since Dumbo The Flying Marxist gave an actual press conference?
