Cassi Creek:
I find myself
becoming more and more angry at the idiocy coming out of the
GOP/teavangelists. There has been no
budget action all this year and we are now within 10 days of a forced
government showdown. This is an
intentional effort by the teavangelists to hold the nation hostage while they
destroy the American economy. The House
has just passed an interim funding bill that includes provision for the “defunding
of Obama Care. The Senate will not pass
the bill as long as that provision is included.
We are headed for a shutdown and a 2nd recession that will
have worldwide implications.
If the ACA
should be defunded, only the health care benefits would be interrupted. While millions of people would be deprived of
health care, the regulations, record keeping, and all the ancillary
administrative functions that are part of the ACA would continue. The taxpayer would be paying but receiving no
benefits. The GOP continues to deal in half-truths
and deliberate misinformation.
These are the
people who jump up and down proclaiming “American Exceptionalism.” There’s nothing exceptional about being
stupid enough to cause another recession/depression. In fact, it’s simply sad that a highly vocal
minority funded by billionaire industrialists has been allowed to overturn the
orderly governance of this nation.
Without the GOP propaganda machine and the frighteningly large pool of
poorly educated that make up their base, this might never have happened. The nation is being held hostage by a tyrannical
minority of right wing extremists who serve only the ideology they have been
spoon-fed by the Koch brothers. They
complain loudly and continually about the supposed conversion of the U.S. into
a socialist nation by Obama. They fail
to understand that they are helping to destroy the republic and replace it with
a combined theocracy and oligarchy.
That’s what
happens when the idiots vote other idiots into office. We should probably prepare for ensuing third
world status.
