Nobody’s Perfect: Congress VS Billy Joe

Remember, the father was drunk.

This week, we were told that our Congress and the President, reached a deal to “save” the country from default. Currently, if you can believe the stats: we have a $14 trillion dollar debt, and this deal will cut expenses by $21 billion in 2012, and $42 billion in 2013.

Wow.

They all did Obama a favor, they said, by letting it all slide till AFTER the elections. This was…more Washington as usual..smoke your mirrors and get out that flask of whiskey.

According to Ron Paul:
“This deal will reportedly cut spending by only slightly over $900 billion over 10 years. But we will have a $1.6 trillion deficit after this year alone, meaning those meager cuts will do nothing to solve our unsustainable spending problem. By denying members the ability to offer amendments and only allowing an up-or-down vote that will take place in the hectic time between Thanksgiving and Christmas, this Commission essentially disenfranchises the vast majority of members from meaningfully participating in the debate over reducing spending and balancing the budget.”

“Furthermore, despite the claims of the bill’s proponents, there is nothing to stop the commission from recommending tax increases. What should bother Americans most is that under cover of this debt ceiling circus, we learned from a recent GAO one-time, limited audit that the Federal Reserve secretly pumped $16 trillion into American and foreign banks over three years. All of the Fed’s fat cat cronies were taken care of at the expense of the American public.”

So, what was this whole big, “The sky is falling and we will never get up!” facade that went on for weeks? It was all about…what? What really happened, it seems to this nobody, is that they are just getting a few more trillion to spend. An eight-year-old with half an education could have done a better deal.

And speaking of eight-year-olds…Billy Joe Madden was so drunk, he let his eight- year- old son drive to Texas from Mississippi, with his four- year -old sister in the back seat. Billy Joe was sent to prison, as well he should have been.

But…consider this: It was just reported that Washington D.C. has the highest alcohol rate of any city in the country among adults, at 8.1 percent. Another nifty statistic is that D.C. is among the top contenders when it comes to cocaine and marijuana use. Are we surprised? This explains why Marion Berry kept getting elected right next door to the White house…with the White House silent. The Mayor was caught on tape selling cocaine, and yet he was re-elected?

Doesn’t that tell you something?

Could it be, the reason the country is going off the road, is we are letting men and women with the experience of a stoned and drunk eight- year- old kid run the country?

Are they all drunk? High? Freaking out on coke? Shouldn’t they all be in prison with Billy Joe Madden with the crimes they have committed?

You have to hand it to that eight-year-old kid. Somehow he managed, despite having a drunk father sitting beside him, to get that pickup truck quite a few miles without hurting anyone.
If Congress was driving that car, it would have caused more than a few major fatalities and would be out of gas, engine on fire, framework all bent to hell, and it would still be in a ditch by the side of the road. With Congress in the driver’s seat, it would have never made it out of Biloxi.

And on that note…I think I’ll go have a drink.
