Why not just advertise “Gas for Votes”?

At least it would be honest. /s

One more thing that low-life residents can barter away for cash to buy drugs and liquor. Black-market goons will gather up the gas cards and resell them. Taxpayers raped again and again by Democrats.

To make matters even crazier in Chicago, my guess is most gas cards will go to people that don’t even own cars….

Best of all, the gas cards will increase demand for gas, and the price will go up.

Not only will taxpayers pay for the gas cards, they will pay more for their own gas.

WE CREATED THEM ALL.

$27 TRILLION +++ in Welfare for over 60++ years.

We got a feral army of barbarians in the process who ALWAYS have their hands out for MORE.

“when the government deigns to give you a freebie.”

Only if your social credit score is high enough.

The very definition of inflation is too many dollars chasing too few goods.

The morons have seized control!

Sounds like money laundering by union pension folks. How much of their pension plans depend upon the new world order biden called for? The working class will pay the poor to go where?
The grindind millstones of taxation and inflation.. happens every time this has been tried.

In Illinois government pensions are crazy. Most government employees become millionaires when they retire. And they can retire in their fifties. Plus, and here is the big kicker. Pensions are not taxed in Illinois. So, not only do they get pensions they do not deserve, they don’t have to pay state taxes on them. Total theft. Nobody in the world gets pensions as rich as Illinois pensions, especially teacher pensions.
