Stupid spending by sleepy bureaucrats

"Watching the 'negotiations' between the Speaker and Biden recently has been a knee slapper. Will the outcome slow or reduce our national debt? Probably not. Then why are we doing it? What is the plan, man?"

Ever wonder why our spending in this state is so out of control? Why our national debt is going up over a trillion dollars a year (sometimes multiple trillions)? Because (please forgive me for using a cruel word) - out federal, our state governments, do stupid spending. How do I know? When I was on Jeff Johnson's team when he was running for governor, my eyes were opened to how much waste and fraud there is in government. Jeff wanted to take every government program, and then dissect it. Find out 1) If it was still useful, and then 2) If it was efficient and effective. That was too much analysis for the average Minnesota voter. They wanted to be gaslighted by Tim Walz instead. So the stupidity continues.

This morning on the news, was another perfect example of stupid federal spending. Afghanistan. We are sending taxpayer money to Afghanistan, to help the poor, impoverished Afghan civilians. And guess who is getting the money in Afghanistan? The Taliban. We are sending it directly to them. How stupid is that? And guess who is getting the money meant for the impoverished Afghans? Terrorists. ISIS-K. Al-Qaeda.

And, I will not even go into the Wuhan Lab in China. The fact our government sent money to partially fund the Wuhan Lab, when that lab might be the source of the deadly Covid-19 virus, is stupid beyond stupid. 

By the way, did you hear that our Central Command is now projecting that Afghanistan is producing resurgent terror groups. And ISIS-K is less than 6 months from being equipped to attack America? Yet another dividend from our retreat from Afghanistan.

BTW - did you hear all the lithium that Afghanistan has? The stuff EV batteries are made from? China is working on a deal to buy that stuff from Afghanistan. Gosh, we sure could have used some of that lithium for Biden's EV plans. Oh well...

Stupid spending. Any more examples? Oh, heck yes! Way too many for this article. Smart spending by government on the other hand, would be a very short list, and could fit in this short article nicely. When government bureaucrats feel that OUR taxpayer money is nothing more than monopoly money, that is when the stupidity begins. And nobody, on this planet, spends our hard earned money with more stupid abandonment, than Brandon does. Even asleep, he can spend more of our money than most of us do, when wide awake.

Watching the "negotiations" between the Speaker and Biden recently has been a knee slapper. Will the outcome slow or reduce our national debt? Probably not. Then why are we doing it? What is the plan, man? How about we start with cancelling the misnamed Inflation Reduction Act? Never happen. Instead, we will continue to pour good money after bad, and then blame the other side for our debt.

I penned an article yesterday about the post-Boomer generation. How they need to get fired up about this mess. I know, I know - the Boomers made this mess. We are guilty as charged. But for the love of Mike, somebody needs to clean up the mess in our aisle. Why? Because this mess will soon become the cleanup in your aisle. And that is the truth,
