Today, my wife and I received our free stimulus money from the government printing presses. The $1.9 trillion federal stimulus package the proglibocrats foisted upon the meek and toothless Republicans in Congress appears to be wildly popular among the masses. Who doesn’t want free money ? It buys votes, silly !
Forgetting for a moment all the pork and molasses embedded in the above-mentioned legislation, who in a sane world thinks that this writer needs a financial boost to lift me out of the COVID financial swamp. Heck, during the pandemic months last year, I played golf every week, and topped it off with an updated Porsche ! Giving me free money is like the government using an already way overdrawn credit card to buy me shiny things that I do not need.
Oh, and let’s never forget that there ain’t no such thing as a free lunch (TANSTAAFL), or free money. When is the last time you heard a politician of either party lament openly about federal budget deficits or the national debt ? A little quick arithmetic suggests that the idiots in D.C. have loaded approximately $100,000 of debt on each man, woman and child in the country. This little fiscal frolic will not affect me in my lifetime, but it sure as heck will impact my kids and their families – think dollar devastation, hyperinflation, crowds in the street kind of stuff. WHAT THE HECK !
