Consider "permanent TFR" a tongue-in-cheek phrase. I meant it that way.
I consider it one more example of the abuse of the public (and of truth)
being committed by the current administration. I've been noticing this for
some time, but I've finally started to log these (although I've no idea
why).
For example, calling the people in Iraq fighting our military "terrorists"
instead of "guerrillas", despite the fact that it is our *military* being
attacked. This was just yesterday, and was the final straw which pushed me
over into starting my collection.
But there've been all these analyses of the two tax cuts which showed them
primarily helping the wealthy combined with the administration's claims
that it is good for "all those who pay taxes". Of course, this doesn't
include the 8 million mostly low-income taxpayers cited in a study by the
Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center.
This came up in early June, and I think it's what started me thinking about
a collection.
