I thought Republicans hated Big Government. From Michigan:
Under a new budget proposal from State Sen. Bruce Casswell, children in the state’s foster care system would be allowed to purchase clothing only in used clothing stores.Aside from the obvious intrusiveness into the citizens' private lives, I imagine all the Wal-Marts, K-Marts, Targets, Sears and Penneys in the state also think this would take their customers away. I can hear the phone calls to his office now:
Wal-Mart: "Bruce, what are you thinking? If that passes half our Back-to-School sales disappear!"
Casswell: "Yeah, but the little peasants don't deserve your fine merchandise. Hand-me-downs were good enough for me at their age."
Wal-Mart: "Bruce, Bruce. How can we contribute the maximum to your next campaign if our revenues fall off because of this?"
Casswell: "Oh. Oh, when you put it that way. . ."
