The Agriculture Dept. is set to impose 15 cent fee on fresh Christmas Trees for the purpose of creating a new board tasked with promoting the Christmas Tree industry. So many ways to go with this.
First off, why do we need another government agency to promote something that doesn't need promoting?
Is this Obama's way of creating jobs for some of his out of work intellectual buddies that have nothing better to do?
Will they indeed be promoting "Christmas Trees" and run afoul of Atheist whiners who will almost certainly call this a government endorsement of Christianty? Or are they gonna call them "Holiday Trees"
I had to double check the story to make sure it wasn't coming from the Onion.
This is just one big bag of stupid.
