Grubberment (grubber + government)

“Grubberment” (grubber + government) is a portmanteau word that probably comes from “money-grubber.”

While it may be true that today’s grubberment accords no such right, it is indeed enumerated in the Bill of Rights, the document it routinely disregards. Reread Amendment V. Last clause.

But whoever in the Croatian grubberment was responsible for pushing that policy through was obviously a bunnyhugger/“animal rights” wacko—otherwise the seal hunt would’ve been a nonissue to him/them—and therefore of the lefty persuausion. In summary: all hippies are leftists, but not all leftists are hippies.)

“Healthcare clears House” = Get Gold, Get Silver. Things are about to get very very expensive. Anything the grubberment does, they do badly.

How long after a Fair Tax is created will it take Grubberment (spelled correctly) to start adding more taxed? Law won’t do, need Amendment.
