Dems ask taxpayers to pay for Congress' feminine hygiene supplies
The Washington Times ^ | July 6, 2018 | Stephen Dinan

Two Democratic members of Congress demanded this week that the U.S. House declare feminine hygiene products to be office supplies that can be reimbursed at taxpayers’ expense.

Reps. Grace Meng and Sean Patrick Maloney, both New York Democrats, said the House should provide the products free of charge in all common bathrooms, and should reimburse offices that buy them.

They said the products should be treated the same as toilet paper or paper towels.

Once again, it’s right out in the open for all to see. The “ruling class” expects not to have to pay for anything.

I thought they were “health care products”. Anyway, Congress members who make over $200,000 per year can afford to pay a few of those dollars for those items.

Grace Meng is my Congresscritter, a former IMMIGRATION attorney. So that tells you everything you have to know about her in a hot NY second. I certainly did not vote for her.

With a city full of war-zone quality degraded streets, drug epidemics, rising crime stats, invasion by illegal invader hordes, you'd think this simple minded idiot would have something useful to do with her time. Of course not--she's a dummocrap. I would highly resent my tax dollars being used to pay for feminine hygiene products to make them free for all. Of COURSE they'd put them in mens' bathrooms as well, to cover the needs of the trannies and other weirdos. Of course I would have to subsidize illegal criminal invaders by paying for these things for them--they don't get enough freebies from soft-minded idiots like Grace Meng. What a typical dummocrap libtard demented idea! I'm surprised the idiot Gillibrand isn't in on this--this is her specialty, soft useless issues just like this.

Tampons should be banned as they contribute to plastic waste like straws.

Both Meng and Maloney sounded like real losers to me and you just confirmed it.

We're already paying for their Alzhiemer's drugs and
other meds to treat the Dem's collective senility. Now
we have to pay for their monthly female problems? Sounds
like another Dem scam of the taxpayer because most of
women look to be menopausal.

Dude, that’s the funniest thing I’ve read all day. I’m just imagining these idiots drying their hair in the bathtub while microwaving lunch with the door open.

Seriously. Working moms making $13/hr. buy their own tampons.

And if Congress provides them for free for all the congresswomen, what if they don’t provide the specific brands and versions of tampons and pads and liners that each woman prefers. Most women have personal preferences on these products. Sure, in a pinch some different brand will do. But most women buy what they prefer. So even if these products are provided, I would think that most would continue to use the ones they prefer.

Of course, I really think the motive for all of this is socialism. Say that these are provided for free for congresswomen and thus should be free for all women. It’s only fair.

This is why the CIA, FBI and deep state feel they can conduct a coup within the United States, lie about it, and then ignore the outrage afterwards

Because “representatives” like this have made Congress a joke.

Mrs. jaz just walked in and I told her the title of the article.

She looked at me and said, “It’s gotta be a joke.”

It’s so ridiculous that it should be. LOL!
