$100 trillion for mediscare alone? And the zero is prepared to indebt future generations for three times that much. Hell, he doesn’t care, it’s not like it’s his money.
This pisses me off more than anything. The way Congress continues to ignore this HERD of elephants in the room and continue blindly lining their own nests with our tax dollars and bribes.
Infuriating ain't it. I have to wonder if most of the electorate, such as it is, sent representatives(?)to DC that have any concept of tomorrow. Or maybe more accurately, do they even care about tomorrow. I also wonder if we aren't past the point of no return. IOW, if they haven't taken us to the edge of the precipice already and there's no going back. It might just be indigestion, but my gut tells me we are headed for some very hard times. And while in decades past we may have thought we were sending people called to a higher standard to DC, we neglected to hold them to that higher standard of public service. And even though our leaders have let us down, it's not entirely their fault. Since we let them get away with it, we can claim some of the blame ourselves, no?
