America: The ADHD Nation And How It Will Survive With A Terminally Short Attention Span

As a nation we are so distractible that, it makes a coherent national dialogue nearly impossible. And so it's a major advantage to the Republican Party to change subjects frequently and the more inane the subject the better.

Consider the recent—attempt to change the subject—John Boehner, Mike Pence, Eric Cantor and company called a press conference to announce the NEW and AMAZING "Republican Hail Mary Budget Proposal".

What was this information packed document?

NOTE: I intentionally left out their bitching about the Democrats budget and concentrated on their IDEAS, which made for a pretty short read.

(My commentary is in parenthesis)

(The Title Page reads)
The Republican Road to Recovery
(from the Republican Road to Disaster!)

(Page 1 begins)
To the American People: Many of our fellow citizens are hurting. (No kidding, and since when did that bother you?) Our economy continues to weather the worst since the 1970s (Take that Jimmy Carter. I notice they didn't refer to Bill Clinton. Oh yea, I forgot that, he left office with a budget surplus and high employment, but, they almost impeach his ass anyway.)

Far too many spend their work days worried that the next phone call will bring an end to a job (which we shipped overseas) only to go home and check the mail for further evidence that years of (Republican fiscal malfeasance, that has reduced your) retirement savings or a children's college savings has dissipated. Such a financial strain threatens to split many families and communities and force even more to postpone the American dream. (Gee I wonder how that happened? Oh yea! Never mind. That happened on our watch. Opps! Sorry! Please just trust us again because this time we have your best interests at heart. No really we're serious.)

The President (the "trash" in the White house) calls for "A New Era of Responsibility" (unlike "Our Era of Total Irresponsibility") as the
title of his budget states. But a closer look at the Democrat budget reveals something far different—it spends too much, taxes too much, and borrows too much. (emphasis is theirs and repeats their favorite talking point—THEY, THEY, TAX TOO MUCH—THEY, THEY, SPEND TOO MUCH—THEY, THEY, BORROW TOO MUCH—AND FROM CHINA NO LESS—WHICH IS UN-AMERICAN WHICH WE KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT—HOW DO YOU THINK WE FINANCED A THREE TRILLION DOLLAR IRAQ WAR?—AND NOW THOSE THOSE DAMN DEMOCRATS WANT TO—sorry what was I saying?)

(And here are some of their stunning new ideas:)
