Getting ready to replace Biden.

Saw a couple of articles about Biden cursing behind the scenes. “Sources say” articles.

Too late. Catastrophe is baked in. You cannot unbake this bread back to water, flour and salt. In science, a process that is not reversible is called irreversible. This concept arises frequently in thermodynamics. All complex natural processes are irreversible.

It appears that government fiscal malfeasance is also irreversible.

We’re finally at the point where the Rats are building their own individual offramps. Despite this warning, tomorrow morning our azz’holes in the House and Senate will look to give Zelensky another $68bn in unaccounted for funds. Look in the mirror, it’s our own fault.

Massive benefits cuts, tax increases, and default.
Pick 2. You might get all three

“the U.S. is on an unsustainable fiscal path”

And who put us here? The GOPe congress - they held the hands of the rats for three decades to raise the debt ceiling to where it is now. And they continue to spend every dime of it.

> Too late. Catastrophe is baked in. <

Agreed. I enjoyed my thermodynamics classes (I lucked out, and got good professors). But I see this more of a “not in my backyard” kind of thing.

Democrats: We should accept illegal immigrants. Just don’t put them in my neighborhood.
Democrats AND Republicans: We should cut spending. Just don’t cut a nickel from any of my pet projects.

So off the cliff we go.
