Off The Edge
When the news says that the federal budget is heading for a train wreck with reality, I think to myself "haven't I heard this song before"? Are we not into the throes of a nation, not soon, but right this minute, making gurgling sounds as the ship of state dives head first into the unknown (unknown being the whole world holding our debt, coming to cash in and finding the only thing in the Treasury Building is the nightwatchman from the Jack Benny Show)?
Dear Leader's proposed 2011 budget adds about 10 trillion and change to the national debt (minus the 12 billion in cuts) over the next decade. Now I know that our great leaders are doing all they can to...to...do something about this ballooning debt. Their words, not mine.
We have heard for my entire life (which spans from sometime ago until now) that unless we get the national debt and the budget process under control, we're in for it. Well, forget about that, we're in it, now and deep. And I really don't see a way out. The prognosticators on the tube and the left over magazines in the barbershop say we gotta do SOMETHING!
And then they go on to say that there isn't much we can do. After all, a big piece of every years budget is already claimed by the old and sick and stupid and dirty and friends who do not have access to a good pay toilet, so they use the government stalls, which are carriers of disease and the mail (at least the mailman won't be able to use the WC on Saturday any more soon. The Post Office says they want to cut Saturday delivery...at least the bills won't depress my already sunk weekend).
What can we do, folk(s)? We are now hostages of our own government. The same government who promised so much when they took and spent the money in the first place. AND NOW they want more so they can kill us with their love of us and the devil's health care.
The radio talkers have been saying for years that if we keep on spending the way we have, trouble is on the way. Trouble is here, babe.
And she's a bitch.
