Products of their own dumbing of America, these lawyer-politicians couldn’t make change for a lollipop without calling the Chairman of the Federal Reserve for help. They sincerely believe that it’s better to go in the hole, lose all the surplus money in their pockets, than break even or make a little money. They haven’t got the brains God gave a piss-ant. Yet, they represent themselves as the party of the people, the protectors of the working class.

Anyone with any sense at all knows that profit is better than debt, but not the democrats. They think it’s better to run up debt. They think it’s better to do something worse than throwing your money in the ocean. To not only get rid of it before it leads you astray, but to hand it to burglars who will gladly spend it on drugs while adding the same amounts to your credit card bill. All so you can pay them again, with interest. Come back for more burgling.

None of these brilliant economic pretenders, like Charles Rangel (D-NY) who also chairs the House Ways and Means Committee, can see that by their own figures the Social Security Trust Fund (so called) now accounts for 18 percent of the National Debt. Throw in the Medicare Trust Fund and you’ve got 22 percent of the National Debt. Hell, throw in all the trust funds and bureaucratic perks and you’ve got almost 40 percent of the National Debt. The democrats think this is good. The people will cough up the money when it’s needed.

Unfortunately, a lot of republican lawyer/politicians who also can’t add or subtract seem to think the same way. But at least the republicans don’t go around knocking the stock market. Pointing at something that, in the worst of times, the Great Depression of the Thirties, still managed to return a minimum of three percent on investment.

It looks like the government of the wealthiest nation in the world is in the hands of a bunch of numbskulls. Oh well, most of the public can’t add or subtract either.
