So, here at week’s end we see these two rather momentous issues juxtaposed: the battle over how to finance that blob-infested monster in DC; and the battle to expose the crimes of a real-life Manchurian Candidate president. Neither battle is going all that well for the minority of citizens who want to live in a pro-reality society. If we follow the fiscal trend, all the tax revenue we can grudge up will barely cover the annual interest on our $30+trillion debt. If we can’t boot out the brain-dead cat’s paw in the White House, then say goodbye to the rule of law and liberty with it.
The people we elect to Congress don’t want to be accountable for specifically authorizing spending on the blob’s multitudinous pet projects. So, they depend on multi-thousand-page omnibus bills nobody can ever scrutinize, and continuing resolution dodges to postpone any necessarily painful action on a budget. Therefore, a dissenting coterie in the House proposes to play hard-ball over de-funding the blob, that is, a government shutdown of unknown duration, until gaslight is replaced by sunlight. The blob itself sends out a frantic S.O.S. Don’t let these white supremacist, “far-right” MAGA nut-jobs drag us out of the comfortable warm, moist darkness we thrive in — perfect conditions for continued blob growth!
Constitution of the Confederate States of America 1862
Government “ shutdowns” started in 1974
We are 33 trillion in debt
Why didn’t they fix the budget before 1974?
Outstanding debt in 1970: $370.92 billion Debt adjusted for inflation: $2.46 trillion Outstanding debt in 1974: $475.06 billion Debt adjusted for inflation: $2.48 trillion
They can all go to hell in their hand basket. Let it all fall down.
These words should be engraved in stone above the Capitol building’s main entrance: “ABANDON HOPE, ALL YE WHO ENTER HERE!”
