Barney Frank and Cow Farts

What happens to the minds of people we elect to public office? This week in particular provides some excellent examples that prove they go mad once they're sworn in. There is more than passing resemblance between Barney Frank, cow farts and illusions of grandeur. We have elected a legislative body that both thinks we stink and we're stupid. Let's look at the track record of our legislators.

In order to protect Harry Reed and his delicate staff from the smell of the great unwashed masses we, the tax payers, built a $71 million air lock for the final total of over $600 million. Everyone complains that Medicare/Medicaid is poorly run and wasteful. we hear that the social security system is in the tank and the Bureau of Indian Affairs has been the punch line jokes for all of my 58 years.

What do all of these things have in common? They are all under the management of the US Congress which, I might add, ran it's cafeteria $25 million in the hole. Now, to expand their less than adequate managerial track record Barney and buddies think they can run the auto industry. Have we forgotten what happened just a few short weeks ago? Fannie and Freddie had to be bailed out at our expense after being broken by the mismanagement by the best the Democrat party has to offer. And don't think the Republicans can be held blameless. All they time we (I am a definite conservative) ran both houses of congress and complained about tax and spend liberals we let the tax rules and regulation grow, did nothing to put an end to the submarket lending legislation and let George Bush spend like Bill Clinton.

Five minutes before bailing out the finance and banking industry Nancy, Harry, Barney, Biden and Obama were telling the nation that all evil stemmed from Bush. Then he sends a flunky before our "Parliament Of Whores" to cry crisis and wal la, George becomes credible.

Now Barney and the boys want to open the public purse and bail out the auto industry. Tax payers making little more than minimum wage are going to subsidize $20/hour auto workers. Our legislators are insane and we the public are worse for allowing it to happen.

Cow farts, oh yea, the tax panic has started. Unemployment is rising and the traditional tax sources are drying up so to continue their spending spree our governmental brain trust (national and local) are going to tax flatulent farm animals. Why stop at the animals? Put an extra tax on bean growers for their contribution to the flatulence crisis and don't forget the flatulence generate at the far ends of Constitution Avenue.

Don't re-elect anyone, for any office, at any time, ever!
