a world without balloons

Tell me that's a Saturday Night Live sketch and not a real Democrat?

When ballons are outlawed, only clowns and idiot politicians (not intended to be repetitive) will have them.

Here's a little more context for that video above...

Federal Helium Program: How temporary becomes forever

President Ronald Reagan tried to get rid of it. So did President Bill Clinton. This October, their wish is finally set to come true.

The Federal Helium Program — leftover from the age of zeppelins and an infamous symbol of Washington’s inability to cut what it no longer needs — will be terminated.

Unless it isn’t.

On Friday, in fact, the House is planning a vote to keep it alive.

“Many people don’t believe that the federal government should be in the helium business. And I would agree,” Rep. Doc Hastings (R-Wash.) said on the House floor Thursday.

But at that very moment, Hastings was urging his colleagues to keep the government in the helium business for a little while longer. “We must recognize the realities of our current situation,” he said.

As it said in the article... "the dead are never really gone."

Guess again.

Maybe the helium balloons are holding up Guam and keeping it from sinking?

With all the crap this country is trying to dig out from under, THIS is what a Democratic moron is wasting his breath on??? Please tell me this is a joke.... this country is being run by mental defectives.

And it passed with most of the house voting for it.

We have been dealing with the rising cost of helium for sometime now and because of it we no longer provided latex balloons with helium only Mylar

We had to raise the price of a Mylar balloon filled with helium to $2.50 about a year ago.

There were several stories of Party Stores having issues because 40% of their business was balloons.

Useless trivia. America was once one of the only sources of helium and we wouldn't sell it to the Germans. They used hydrogen and the Hindenburg burning was the result.
