Don't Fall For It

We always hear this around any discussion of sensible , appropriations, fiscal responsibility and the rest of the handwringing from stingy republicans. It’s rarely noted by astute Democrats what the real meaning behind the “we can discuss this further and express our different approach” deflection.

Remember what, for example is behind demands for a $1.5 trillions war shopping spree, millions to paint buildings, billion dollar ballrooms, no-bid contracts while our revenue dollars have less value than a spray-painted gold eagle figure above a trump’s toilet at magalardo.

This obscene, flagrant, hemorrhaging of unnatural, unaccountable expenditures within agencies, department, and institutions necessary for a healthy society has one goal under any administration touched by them.

Depletion, depletion, depletion. The formula works. Kill the “beast” so the starved child has no strength to fight. Their squandering of the Nation’s wealth masquerading as fiscal responsibility has succeeded time and again.

Don’t buy the pitch. The intent is to break it. I repeat. Waste it to break the inherent function for the good aspects of just government.
