So, “responsible” Washington, what’s the plan? More taxes? More money to Washington? More spending? More vote buying? More corruption? More blue-ribbon, bipartisan commissions? More fruitless negotiations? More can-kicking? Anyone with a two digit or higher IQ knows the answer: somebody is not going to get what they have been promised, but it is not going to happen until after the Titanic hits the iceberg. Only then will it be possible, as a matter of necessity, to tell all those counting on “their” government that “their” government is broke, busted, bankrupt. For once, “responsible” Washington will be telling the truth. It is hard―no, it is impossible―not to believe that this is what much of “responsible” Washington wants. An immensely wealthy, immensely powerful aristocracy of influence and pull, displaying itself to the impoverished, cringing masses, kept in their place by the NSA and the ever expanding police state. One of the many flaws of this insane design: if the parasites kill the host, where does their next meal come from? A better plan for the slimy kleptocrats who want to save their own skins: take the money and get the hell out of Dodge right now, while the getting is still good. For the rest of us? We will be left wishing the Tea Party had won.
