It continues to amaze me that people don’t see the rather obvious way we completely ignored any semblance of economics and health in any other context than CoVid. Anyone who tried to warn people of this was seen as not caring about anyone’s life. Yet the exact opposite was true.

This controlled demolition is a long time in the making. It took 11 years to create sufficient debt that servicing that debt would bankrupt a country as wealthy as the United States. The odious, swamp-dwelling plutocrats in D.C. are all complicit as a consequence of their purposefully impecunious fuckery.

The best part of these truly reprehensible shenanigans? My children will probably never know and appreciate what a wonderful land of opportunity this country has been and, absent these shitheads, could be again. It's not enough that I can describe the abiding hopefulness I had for most of my young and adult life. I have tried to inculcate in them the notion they can, or are far more likely, to accomplish whatever they set out to do if they are disciplined, work hard, and operate by an appropriate moral compass. These shameless, feckless dickbags have made a liar out of me, and I cannot begin to express my resentment and disgust at their lemming-like self-immolation and taking the whole country with them.

Whatever your political stripe, vote out the incumbent office holder. Choose someone who loves America, has an ounce of common sense, and posses a burning desire to constrain government spending at every opportunity and, when that need arises, spends wisely and well. Tall order, I know, but we can no longer accept the status quo, and any improvement is an improvement worth embracing.

Thanks, Jordan, for putting a tidy wrapper on this grab bag of foolishness, and hopefully November heralds a sea change in the quality of our elected leadership in the festering stool pit that is our Legislative branch.
