Requiem for a Porker

"Not much is going to happen on this thing before Christmas. After Christmas is over however, the bar-b-que might begin. This porker will indeed need some kind of requiem."

Okay. Maybe not yet a requiem, as it is not dead as yet. But (thank goodness), it is on life support. What is? What, for the love of Pete! The much ballyhooed, Build, Back Better pile of goo. After it got through the House with absolutely zero Republican support, it was shuttled over to the Senate. And once in the Senate, where there are some cooler Democrat heads (albeit, not many), it started to die a slow death.

Wait a minute! Have you not heard our President, going all over the country, trying to sell this thing? "17 Nobel winning economists think this is the best thing since ice cream!" Oh, really? And who exactly are these 17 wiz kids? We don't know, as we have never heard one name mentioned. In reality, most financial experts I have heard, call this thing a porker. The mother of all goo and nonsense.

If Slo Joe has a snowball's chance with this thing, he really needs to get it away from the CBO. The longer the CBO looks at this much bloated bill, the worse the number gets. Even though Biden and his loyal troops of liars, have said it is only (only?) $1.75T, the CBO strongly disagrees. Right now, the number the CBO has is $5T, with most of it NOT paid for. 

How about the American people? What do they think? First off, we just found out that inflation is back to the Jimmy Carter days. Like 40 years ago. And more and more people now know, that the worst thing you can do to an overheated economy, where inflation is runny crazy, is to dump a whole more debt on the fire. Even though Slo Joe likes to squint into the camera and tell people this bill will save everyone a boatload of money, fewer and fewer want to drink this snake oil. Seems we have been down this trail before. 

Not much is going to happen on this thing before Christmas. After Christmas is over however, the bar-b-que might begin. This porker will indeed need some kind of requiem. Once that is over, light the fire and get out the knives and forks. Time to feast on the carcass. This porker should be history, never to be resurrected again.

As the Democrats continue to beat January 6th to death, the Republicans are gearing up for November of next year. People want sanity in our government, not insane, socialistic, cradle to grave, give away bills. We just need to hang on folks. Help is on the way.
