My Brain Hurts

I should never have more than two weeks off at a time, especially if I don’t have anything special planned.  I tend to watch shows that make me crazy.  I then read to see if what I saw was true.  After I ruminate over the situation, I always come to the same conclusion.  Everybody is an IDIOT!!!! 

They also think that we are stupid enough to believe what they are saying.  This is not a biased post.  There is plenty of idiocy to go around.  The sad thing is that there are enough stupid people that believe what their politicians say, thereby getting the politicians elected again and again.

In some cases the voters don’t necessarily believe what the politician says, but the pork rolls in to the district, so they look the other way.  “We know he’s a crook, but he’s OUR crook.”  Remember Jim Wright of Ft. Worth?  Carswell AFB, Bell Helicopter, and an amendment to a bill that damn near gave DFW a monopoly.  If you can’t compete, pay Jim Wright and he will make it all better.

Republicans in the area have the legacy of Jim Collins.  He had the idea of using an old railroad right of way to build a toll road to North Dallas.  Unlike the DFW Turnpike, the Dallas North Tollway never became a free road after it was paid off.  The Tollway gave access to downtown Dallas from the North for a nominal fee.  The voters and contributors in Jim Collins district could now get to work and back without having to associate with the great unwashed riff-raff.

1.     If you want to see what happens when politicians spend and regulate without ramifications, look at California.  The State is paying its bills with IOUs. The education system is bankrupt; they are running out of water, and electricity.  There is no way a power company can build a power plant in the state because regulatory issues make it economic suicide.  But, by God, they are not going to change their idealistic ways just so the citizens can survive.  Pragmatism is not an option for radical ideologues.

2.     Speaking of California, could Nancy Pelosi be anymore disingenuous?  This woman will lie, and stand by that lie, even after it has been refuted.  On another note, how can she be the devout Catholic that she purports to be, and still be pro-choice?  I guess we are expected to believe in everything she says, but the Pope? He might be wrong.

3.     Stimulus?  Where is it?

4.     Nationalized Health Care?  They better hurry because as the elections get closer, the incumbents will face a no-win situation.  If they pass Health Care, the big PAC money dries up.  If they don’t pass it, the uneducated voters get mad.  Either way, there will be much crabwalking.

5.     One last thing to ponder:

IF YOU TAX THE RICH UNTIL EVERYONE HAS THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY.   IS EVERYONE RICH, OR IS EVERYONE POOR?  AND THEN WHOM DO YOU TAX WHEN THE DEFICIT GROWS AGAIN.  THE PEOPLE WHO USED TO BE RICH HAVE LOST THEIR INCENTIVE, AND THE PEOPLE WHO WERE POOR EITHER HAD NO INCENTIVE IN THE FIRST PLACE, OR DID NOT HAVE THE ABILITY OR GOOD FORTUNE TO SUCCEED.
