Dadburn those pesky Democrats! Since Preznit Shit-for-Brains caught recession panic and threw away whatever wispy pretendings of fiscal responsibility out of his mumblings (his actions and decisions long ago ceased to contain any) Senator's Reid and Dodd would like to get some tangible national benefits out of the debt-fattening orgy of tax cuts and public spending on the way. So would like to put some infrastructure projects in the mix, the sorts of things that would actually be built here in the USA, employing USA citizens and increase our GDP going forward. Not so fast, say the Republicans.
I find this interesting, and illustrative, in much the same way that falling face first into a pile cat shit interestingly illustrates exactly what what Mr. Whiskers has been eating lately.
The lesson, so far as I get it, is that the Republicans --- addicted as they are to both tax cuts and runaway spending --- have no perceptible problem running our country into greater and greater debt levels, as long as they can state with 100% confidence that no tangible benefit to American citizens is ever produced. Things that go boom, yes. Cash shipments that vanish somewhere in Mesopotamia, sure. Subsidies to companies which pillage our national resources and pollute our environment, hell yeah. Bridges and roads, not so much.
I hate them. I hate them. I hate them more and more every day.
