Amen! American government reminds me of how a rusty pilot flies an ILS: the needle swinging wildly between the stops. Wham! Wham! Wham! Wham!
There’s two power hungry cults. Nobody seems to want to toss either of them out. Mostly because of that whole Federalization thing. If one disappears the other destroys the country.
If FedGov were the size it should be by collected revenues after paying its bills, (and the original design of the country), nobody would care about politics at all.
A federal politician would be some minor bureaucrat who ranted about things but had no power to enact any silliness because we’d all know they couldn’t afford anything.
A nice bum who begs for money for their cult ideas. The original design of our Federal government.
There’s nearly zero chance anyone will ever get control of the spending before the republic collapses, judging by human history.
That also won’t happen in my lifetime, most likely, so whatever.
Those who have kids and grandkids, they might see it. Will be mass suffering on a grand scale. Urbanization and Statism will turn super ugly. Always has. Always will.
Noticed that Caesar got around to cashing my quarterly tax check today. Not bad.
Two weeks after the oh-so-important deadline to return some of their funny money back to them that won’t even pay their interest bill on their loans.
I always send the tax checks in paper to see how long it takes some warehouse full of government serfs to open the envelopes and actually process the things. Why make it easier for them with electronic transfer? I figure it gives somebody a really crappy job.
