If Mr. Burns Ran America

One of my favorite weblog thingies is Whatever It Is, I'm Against It. For the most part, WIIIAI reads the NYTimes from 100 years ago and reports on the best of the day's news. Occasionally there are comments on contemporary developments. Today, however, there was a comment on today's political clall that sounded like a statement from 1911:
Michigan state senator Bruce Caswell proposes that the $79 a year the state spends on clothing for children in foster care only be spent in thrift shops for second-hand clothing, saying that when he was a kid, “I never had anything new.”
What on earth is wrong with these people?
