Congressional plan to bail out Starbucks

Posted on July 2nd, 2008 by Jackie Danicki

Rep. Pelosi’s bill would subsidize the 600 money-losing Starbucks locations by giving away millions of taxpayer dollars in so-called ‘Venti Vouchers’ to residents of these hard-hit neighborhoods. If the effort fails to revive the flagging stores, Rep. Pelosi said Democrats would “seriously consider nationalizing the coffee industry to ensure the free flow of java at fair prices.”

    Coffee. It’s an inalienable right. Says so right there in the Declaration of Independence.

    You can joke, but there are millions of people who believe that access to gasoline and the internet are inalienable rights. They sit in Congress and agitate for the violence of law to be applied to the supply of those commodities.
