Get a Job

Said I wasn’t gonna say it on Facebook. It’s just so tiresome. So I’ll put it here and share it on the facebook with the comments turned off.

Every time in my life I thought our system would get fixed, it would fizzle out and we’d still be in the same jackpot as before and add to it more complications and errors.

Here we go again. Trump is a shakeup artist, loud and brassy, and very dislikable as he seems to direct it. We’ve had the same stuff go on before, (Clinton, when he first got elected, did much the same tricks with the various bullshit bureaucratic agencies), and I see all the antics of Trump and the new right hand, Elon Musk. By the way, that’s a girl’s name. My daughter is Elon. But it is a powerful name, both in Musk as well as my daughter.

Three weeks in and Trump has approached most problems he has pointed out, in his campaign as well as his last presidency. All done, is subject to big change either by negotiation or court action/legislation tools. So there’s no telling how things will shake out in the end. And even after all is said and done, the next administration will undo the whole mess unless something is made permanent. And I can’t see that happening.

It’s really a shame our system is so screwed up. I’ve been critical of the budget/money/debt industry for many years, back to my drunk days and that was many longs ago. I really never thought, when our national debt was in the billions not trillions, we would be able to string it out any longer with out a meltdown, but here we are 45 years later still stringing together zeros to follow the big numbers. It’s hard to imagine a trillion dollars. I can’t even imagine a billion dollars and most can’t But we fall trillions every single year. And we are on the upside of 36 trillion in the hole right now.

What bugs the shit out of me is the folks hating on the rich billionaires. Jesus Christ even if they are bad, which seems stupid to me to believe, the government is a thousand times worse. As crooked as any slimy businessperson at best and ten times worse than the worst con men in history at worst.

We have to run a deficit every year just to pay the interest on our debt. And it’s not because we don’t have enough taxes. We collect plenty of taxes, especially from the rich fucks, The rich guys pay most of the taxes collected. Our dudes, the politicians and the bureaucrats spend too much, right down the line.

A favorite example for me goes like this. Before Carter made up the bullshit Education Department we had a decent system of education. In fact it was as good or better than any country on the planet. Since then we have added 8 percent more students, but 128 percent more non-teaching jobs to the schools. That’s pure horse shit. There is no excuse for that. It is the prime directive of the government to “make jobs,” and that’s how they do it. Adding bullshit jobs, (which invariably pay considerably more than the lowly teacher) is a favorite government pitch to re-elect some asshole who couldn’t care less about the people who live here. Or save some idiot’s job who couldn’t even do a counter-person job at a fast food joint. Yet those are the people we give our money and support to and blame all our woes on crap like Trump and Musk. Those guys didn’t make this shit, but I believe they are trying to fix it for the people.

Elon Musk couldn’t care less about your social security number, he doesn’t care where you live, your phone number, or any other information about you. That whole thing is crap, in fact, it’s a fucking bald-faced lie that he’s accessing personal information. Besides that all your fucking information is already known to millions of people and agencies.

I don’t think they will succeed. I think we are too far gone. They may have saved a billion bucks so far, (if it all stands, which it won’t). At that rate, we might be able to only lose a trillion bucks a year instead of the regular 4 trillion.

But some people are going to lose their jobs and that’s just the way of the world. Go find another job. And if you wind up living in a tent, you might consider a go at alcoholism or drug addiction just like the rest of us do. Fuck!! It’s just a damned job, there are many and varied.

Anyway, I said it, not well, but I did. I’m not going to edit this shit, so good luck reading it. Lol
