When the sub prime story first broke and the market fell 416 points Chris Dodd chairman of the Senate Banking committee jumped in, Congress must step in an assist the mortgage holders to assure the stability of the markets. Sounds like Chris was more concerned about the markets than the homeowners. I wonder where his money is invested? pass me the hammer! As markets stabilized such radical talk about helping those in need was stilled. I’m sure brother Chris meant well, I recently heard Barney Frank on Bill Maher’s Real Time program and one of the panelist made a remark about the ineffectiveness of Congress and God bless his pointed little head he took offense. Ole Barn fell all over himself explaining how dedicated and hard working our public servants were. As the panel smiled and the audience laughed Barn soon figured out he had his truck stuck in the mud on that one and discretion was the better part of valor.
It reminded me of the two deer hunters dragging a buck back to their truck by its hind legs. Another hunter in the woods says, you know that would be a lot easier if you dragged it by the antlers. So they gave it a try and after another twenty minutes the hunter says, this ain’t working we keep getting further away from the truck. They truly think they are doing a good job either through ineptitude avarice or ignorance they don’t get it.
It doesn’t matter how you drag the deer if you never get him back to the truck, Pass the hammer.
In Venezuela they have cut poverty rate by 15% have expanded education imported twenty thousand doctors and sent their own students overseas to study medicine. Don’t tell me about ideologies I don’t care the results are what counts. In Russia they have cut their national debt in half this year they are getting the deer back to the truck.
Our system is so subverted and the media so contrived and compromised that those in Washington and the media live in an alternate reality. The furor over the Administrations firing of nine federal prosecutors, should Alberto Gonzales be fired? Yes, but not for that! He should be fired ,disbarred prosecuted and jailed. The architect of every slimy decision, wire tapping , torture, incarceration without trial, secret evidence, hear say evidence and should he be fired over the prosecutors? That’s like asking should Jeffery Dahlmer be prosecuted for over due library books, it’s ludicrous! Pass the hammer!
I could mention the Iraq war but that would be too easy so lets go for the less obvious and more ridiculous. The United States Congress is funding and building a wall across our border with Mexico while at the same time the President is planning to open the border with an interstate highway all the way to Kansas.
