Bogus Bonuses!

  Boy! it sure is great to know that even with America's national debt now  approaching 16 trillion dollars, the government decided that the American,  tax payers wouldn't mind if they handed out a total of 439 billion dollars in the form of government bonuses to workers in various federal agencies.I guess the government just assumed none of the American,  taxpayers would mind not that I ever remember the government bothering to ask American,  taxpayers in the first place. I guess the Government just figures that when the nation is already nearly sixteen trillion dollars in debt what's a mere 439 billion more right? Hey remember when a billion dollars sounded like a lot of money? now the government considers a billion dollars like mere pocket change, it's weird though I don't seem to have that kind of change in my pocket and I'm sure many Americans can say the same.
  The nation's debt is about to come into focus again as the House and Senate gear up for another show down at the end of the year but I've seen this movie before so I just tell you how it ends. First,  the Senate Democrats, demand an  increase in government taxes. The House Republicans,  say no and demand budget cuts after a long stand off the Democrats,  remind the House that they will be blamed if the government is forced to shut down and the House not wanting to be perceived as insensitive to seniors who live on social security checks will in the end back down Senate Democrats,  may offer some type of distant in the future watered down meaningless budget reduction just so they can save face and say the give house Republicans,  something, but at the end of the day the debt ceiling will again be raised after all where do you think the government bonuses are going to come from for next year? as always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just, some words, to think on.
