Recaps of the ongoing budget debate at the White House all indicate that both sides of the battle remain adamant in their positions, especially in regard to taxes. Democrats insist that tax increases be imposed on the "rich," while Republicans say they'll never agree to that, regardless.
As I've been mentioning in the recent past, I find this continuing political disagreement almost beyond comprehension. Because I believe that anyone with half a gram of common sense can clearly see what reckless spending and unskilled, thoughtless leadership has cost the nation. Yet the administration insists on the right to keep repeating their failures and mistakes. And that led me to refresh my memory by looking up the definition of insanity, which is: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
But, what's really extremely troubling is that not only do they want to keep running around in proven pointless circles, they're also demanding that those who've succeeded financially bail them out. According to Fox News, at Monday's meeting, while Republicans still balked at proposed tax increases on “oil and gas companies and corporate jet owners,” an "exasperated" Vice President Joe Biden said, "come on man, let's get real."
To me, Biden's comments, if he really means them, are unbelievably naive and incredibly stupid because what he's really saying is that it doesn't matter how much he and his inept cronies have lost or frittered away of high earners funds already, he expects to steal even more from them. And, as I keep asking, what would happen if things like this took place in the real world?
First of all, any organization as financially inept as those currently in political office would have been gone months, perhaps years, ago. Because no commercial enterprise buried in so much debt could possibly remain in business. And, if the company were publicly traded there'd be slews of suits and actions by stockholders, seeking their money back. And, that's really what should be done in this case. Because, if their own money was involved, not just what they're able to rip off from high-earners in taxes, maybe the current incumbents would either learn how to really do their jobs, or better yet, quit.
That's it for today folks.
Adios
