How is this for irony?

Saw a pickup today and on the bumper it said, "Reduce your government footprint".

The driver was at the very least in his 70's and I wouldn't be surprised if he was a recipient of social security and medicare.

He fits the demographic to a tee. However, we have no idea if he is receiving any sort of government assistance. If he is, that would be truly ironic.
