As I was listening to the wows of states running out of salt and places to dump snow

I was wondering about all who want to "flush the government down the tub."

All the ones who don't want government until... they need it.

Perhaps not NY, NJ, PA and New England but... did Kentucky and Texas got some of these icy conditions?

Did Randy Paul and Cruz want to block any sanding and snow removing?

Where does Grover Norquist live? Was he in need of the government plowing his snow?

But not the huge snow/ice storms that are costly to take care of because they are so rare. But they've had some "shutdown" days for schools, businesses, etc.

There are other solutions to the snow problem that we should consider. Salt, plows and government NOT REQUIRED!
