Anybody realize we don't have a taxation problem but a spending problem is so lost they shouldn't even be allowed to vote.

"The United States is fighting terrorism — one snow cone at a time. Montcalm County recently received a $900 Arctic Blast Sno-Cone machine.
The West Michigan Shoreline Regional Development Commission (WMSRDC) is a federal- and state-designated agency responsible for managing and administrating the homeland security program in Montcalm County and 12 other counties.
The WMSRDC recently purchased and transferred homeland security equipment to these counties — including 13 snow cone machines at a total cost of $11,700."


Here is their rationale for purchasing this............


"The snow cone machine is currently being stored in the Montcalm County Emergency Services (MCES) building in Stanton. MCES Director David Feldpausch said the machine could be useful at the scene of a large fire or during very hot weather."


I wanna see a bunch of firefighters jump outta their trucks and fire up the snow cone machine and start chucking ice at a fire. These fuggin people are absolutely insane.


On a side note one requested a popcorn machine that was denied. Good work.

Anyone who says that tax receipts haven't fallen needs to stop acting like an emotional 12 year old girl, to act like an adult and to check their data.

Who said that? I see two posts on this thread and nobody said that. What the hell are you talking about. So I guess it's ok for TAX MONEY to pay for snow cone machines to put out fires in your eyes??
