Sundance over at CTH had a short post of the meaningless theatre that Washington engaged in recently to come to an agreement on increasing the debt ceiling. Before I post Sundance’s comments, please note that more Democrats voted for the measure than Republicans did (165 to 149). That alone tells the story.
Sundance:
In the annals of Freudian graphic design, this apropos logo is one for the history books.
As one of the qualified Diversity Equity and Inclusion spokepeople for Mitch McConnell’s DeceptiCon group, Joni Ernst has always had a very specific role to play. Today she announces Ron DeSantis is joining the porkulous parade, an apropos name for a pork-filled United States budgetary process that has replaced regular order since fiscal year 2008.
That is correct folks. All of these debt ceiling arguments, continuing resolutions, stop-gap spending bills, and generally corrupt UniParty spending outcomes, are the result of congress dropping the budget process after fiscal year 2008. For the past fifteen years in a row, specifically as part of the Obama ‘fundamental change’ process, the budgetary order in the U.S. government has been eliminated.
Everything associated with federal spending is a corrupt and arguably unconstitutional system of base-line budget growth, continuing resolutions, no budget constraints and debt ceiling increases. The media like to play the budget narrative game without ever mentioning the source of the issue.
Can you think of a more apropos logo to represent the interests of Washington DC and the right-wing of the UniParty agenda?
Quite a remarkable and Freudian optic.
We are in an abusive relationship with our government.
