IS 14% OF A LOAF BETTER THAN NONE?

by Bob Walsh

So, the clown car we call congress and the lead clown we call Senile Joe are having fun, or at least were.  The house is now in recess for two weeks so they can go get their graham crackers and milk I guess.

The nutter fringe of the Democrat-Socialist party DEMANDS that they pass both the $1 trillion more or less actual infrastructure bill and the $3.5 billion (or 4.5, or 5.5) sort-of infrastructure bill, which hasn't even been WRITTEN yet as a package deal.  Senile Joe said the bills were linked and should / must be passed together.  Then he said they didn't need to.  Then he said they did need to.  Then he asked when nap time was.  Nancy Pelosi swore twelve ways from Sunday that the massive sort-of infrastructure bill would be passed five days ago.  It wasn't.  

One of two reasonably smart hold-out senators from the Democrat side think that the $3.5 billion figure is ridiculous, and are holding out for MUCH less.  They seem to be resisting the pressure so far.  The nutter wing intends to hold up the $1 trillion bill, which actually has a lot of bi-partisan support, until they get a positive vote on their pie-in-the-sky bill.  That is sort of like a combination of holding their breath until they turn blue and taking the ball and going home.  Fuck them.

What ever happened to the concept of fiscal responsibility?  I guess it is easy to spend OPM.

Fiscal Responsibility? Most of these so called elected representatives are multi-millionaires when they leave their elected posts. "We the People" are a bunch of Rubes because we have allowed this to happen for at least 150 years. We have let our representatives enrich themselves with our tax money. We have allowed ourselves to be willing victims of the largest theft in human history. You want to see who stole from you? Go look in the mirror.

You want to stop it? Do not elect an incumbent. Demand term limits and vote for an individual not a party affiliation. Get involved and demand accountability.
