This is not meant to be CT, I'm just old, cynical, and thrice burned...
Weekends are pretty calm around here, but I'm hoping there are still a lot of smart Kossacs around that could talk me down... feel up to the challenge? Folly me...
First, we had this...
...which was, of course, bipartisanly and joyously preceded by this...
... a mere THREE YEARS into this... and CBS has the marginal journalistic temerity to meekly raise their figurative hand and say, "excuse me?"...
...which was followed by "embarrassment, shock, hand wringing, and steely resolve" resulting in this... proudly and rapidly signed by MY president into law with proud bipartisan onlookers (arguably the only piece of legislation to make it through congress in a timely/bipartisan manner since Obama became president)
...(until this...)
... so now, It's "deja vu all over again" with threats to shut the government down again... my money, my savings, my blood sweat and taxes... I get to watch draining out of the "shrinking bathtub"... while our great 'Rental Fourth Estate' decries, "this is a disaster" and "NOBODY PROFITS FROM THIS"!
spare. me.
I am not a stupid person... but I'm also not an insider.
Someone will profit handsomely... and, IMHO, that's treason.
