And those fossil fuel subsidies have funded many 70+ year old (unnamed) politicians... and somehow they keep getting reelected!! Methinks a whole lot of "higher ups" are getting wealthy courtesy of their cozy relationship with politicians... and not from dubious art projects. It's a big "back scratching" club... and we ain't in it!! But we PAY for it.
By the way... they dumped Social Security into the General Fund too... so politicians can "borrow"... then claim the fund is running out. Any cookie jar will eventually be empty if you pilfer long enough... Again - those short memories.
