Failed to Collect as Much Money as It Spent... Vastly Increasing the Deficit!
and then in 2023, there was a Debt Ceiling Crisis... Finally resolved by President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy Compromising... and The Congress Passed a Law... Raising the Debt Ceiling...
AND - Cutting the Budget for IRS Agents... Making it Easier for the Super Rich to Cheat on their Taxes... after all, Income Tax Evasion is NOT a CRIME unless You GET CAUGHT!
Marjorie Taylor Greene Praises Biden. Compares Him to LBJ, FDR for making Quality of Life Better for the American People. Thanks for the Free VOTE 4 JOE Campaign Ad, Empty Greene...
Headline: Marjorie Taylor Greene compares Biden to FDR, LBJ.

Biden says: I Approve of this Message... The predominantly ludicrous lawmaker from Georgia did Biden a solid this weekend, telling Republicans the Democratic president is fiendishly attempting to make people's lives better.

She compared Biden’s "Build Back Better" plan to President Lyndon B. Johnson’s "Great Society," an array of programs from the mid-1960s aimed at combating poverty in America. Those programs included Medicare, Medicaid and food stamps, along with the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
Surely the last thing voters want is a president like Biden who is – GASP! – helping Americans
Greene continued making the case for Biden’s reelection: “Now LBJ had the Great Society, but Joe Biden had Build Back Better, and he still is working on it, the largest public investment in social infrastructure and environmental programs that is actually finishing what FDR started, that LBJ expanded on, and Joe Biden is attempting to complete.”
OH NO, NOT INVESTING IN SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE! HEAVEN FORBID! INNOCENT AMERICANS MIGHT GET HELPED!
Empty Greene is Not At Fault for Being Stupid... She was Educated at Public Skools in the American South... Where Accurate History if Forbidden! Perhaps She Only Learned about LBJ Last Week!

Darren Woods, Michael Wirth and Bernard Looney Voluntarily Raised Gasoling Prices. Causing Immense Profits for ExxonMobil, Chevron, BP and Rosneft in Russia...
But...
Joe Biden Isn't Even Meeting With any of them! WTF? Is He All About PRETENDING to Do Something? While Ignoring the Actual Cause?

This post was written Long Ago... I Said:
Trump's Tax Cut for The Rich Failed to Collect Enough Money and the Entire Country was on the Verge of Bankruptcy... Defaulting on our Debt... 10/1/2021... and the "Middle Class Tax Cut" was temporary... and NOW, Taxes are Higher on the 99% and Lower for the Top 1%...
#France1789 - There was a Similar Situation in France... and they Solved their Troubles by Beheading the Ruling Class... Maybe THAT Would Solve our Crazy Billionaire Problems... They Have Been Infected With "Compulsive Hoarding of Money" Syndrome... an Incurable Disease...
Now It's 7/9/2021 and Joe Biden is President, Both the House and Senate are Controlled by Democrats and Trump Has Been Banished to Mar-A-Loser Florida...
Current News!
Trump CONFESSES to Income Tax Evasion... "Everybody Does It" - Somehow, That Defense Doesn't Actually Work in a Courtroom Trial... The Judge Doesn't Care What "Everybody" Does...
Former President Donald Trump acknowledged the core facts in New York prosecutors' case against the Trump Organization.
Trump told a crowd in Sarasota, Florida, on Saturday night that "every company" does "fringe benefits."
https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/04/politics/trump-rally-sarasota-florida/index.html
Eric and Junior CONFESS TO INCOME TAX EVASION... They ALSO think the "Everybody Does It." Defense is Enough... Well, Allen W. Could Spend the REST of HIS LIFE in Prison... Have FUN in Sing Sing! https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2021/07/don-jr-eric-trump-criminal-charges

Trump DID Pass the Tax Cut For the Rich Law That In Fact RAISED TAXES on the Middle Class in 2021... I Guess He Figured That He was Going to Be a One term President and THE NEXT GUY would be Blamed for the Tax Increase...
https://theweek.com/speedreads/803067/trump-pledges-debut-new-middleclass-tax-cuts-plan-month
Trump pledges to debut new
middle-class tax cuts plan this month.
October 2018
https://www.brookings.edu/blog/up-front/2018/10/16/the-middle-class-needs-a-tax-cut-trump-didnt-give-it-to-them/
The middle class needs a tax cut:
Trump didn’t give it to them
President Trump
claimed that “Republicans passed the biggest
tax cuts in American history, the biggest in American history.
Everybody is better for them.”
Unfortunately, this isn’t true. Everybody is not better off
from the recent tax cuts, which have only served
to increase the federal
budget deficit—now $779 billion for FY 2018.
TAX THE RICH. CUT TAXES ON EVERYONE ELSE. We ought to Repeal and Replace Trump's "Tax Cut for the Rich Law" - At the Very Least, The Rich Ought To Be Arrested for Income Tax Evasion... Just Like You and I Are... #France1789
Let's CUT Taxes on 99% of Americans and Increase Taxes on the Top 1% - It's Not Complicated.

and Here are some more modern Rants... from 2021...
One thing we could do to Stop Climate Change is use less electricity. Much electric power is created in COAL FIRED PLANTS... or Nuclear Power Plants... SO... GROW YOUR MARIJUANA OUTDOORS IN THE FREE SUNSHINE!
Stop Using Grow Lights Indoors. That's a WASTE! and One day at the PG&E Plant near my house SEVEN (7) Transformers Blew Up... Because of the Sudden Surge in Power Needed to Light up an indoor Farm... CRAZY! There is plenty of FREE Sunshine... My Neighbor has a White Plastic Sheet Greenhouse in his Backyard and That SMELLS WONDERFUL!
Some People Criticize my ODD CAPITALIZATION Technique... Well, I just treat typing AS IF It was an Electric Guitar Solo AND THE CAPS LOCK WAS A WAH-WAH PEDAL... But, on the other hand... I want the MEANING of My Words to Sink in... and If the CAPS LOCK Interferes With the Education of the Unwashed Masses... I Do NOT Want to FREAK THEM OUT! so much that they FAIL to Grasp the Concepts!

I Wish We Had Studied More Practical Subjects in High School. For Example: Plumbing. While I Have Never Used My Ability to Diagram a Sentence EVER, I Have Needed to Fix a Dripping Faucet.
Clogged Drains in the Kitchen Sink are a Significant Part of Real Life while Calculus is Useless. Classes in How to Balance a Checkbook, Avoiding Credit Card Debt and Filing Income Taxes Would Have Been Valuable.
One Class they ought to add is Critical Thinking. In a World where there are SO Many People Lying it has been Handy to Know That Logical Fallacies Exist. I Took that Class in College and It Helped Me To WAKE UP! I Realized That It Was a Good Idea to "Think for Myself and Question Authority." For Example: 400,000 People Died from Opioid Overdoses in the USA. But First, They Had to Believe Their Doctor and Buy That Prescription... Remember: Believing Lies Is Not the Best Plan for Life...
Another Example: "They" Don't Tell You that Owning a Gun Makes Your Family LESS SAFE. The Increase in Successful Suicides, The Increase in Accidents and The Increase of One Family Member Shooting Another During Arguments TOTALLY OUTNUMBER the Number of Times You Defend Your Family From "Bad Guys." They Lie to You In Order To Increase Profits... WAKE UP!
A More Subtle Example: TV Advertisements for Prescription Drugs (and Booze, Cars and Trucks) often show Beautiful Young People Doing Ecstatic Dancing! The Hidden Meaning Is That If You Take Their Drug You Will Feel Like Those People in the Ads. Rock Stars, Hang Gliders, Surfers, People Whose Children Just Graduated for College, People Who Won the Stuffed Bear at the Carnival, Mountain Climbers... I Always Turn off the Sound During Commercials and Often it is Impossible to Tell What Disease that Specific Drug is Used to Cure... All I Know is that by Taking The Drug, The Pretty Lead Singer in the Band was able to Cure Her Nausea and Sing and Their Concert was Wonderful... and Everybody Was Dancing WITHOUT DANDRUFF... There is One Ad That Shows BLISSED OUT PEOPLE Releasing Thousands of Fire Filled Paper Bags that Float into the Night Sky... I HAVE Felt Like Those People... ON LSD... However... "One Pill Makes You Larger, and One Pill Makes You Small, and the Ones That Mother Gives You, Don't Do Anything At All... Go Ask Alice... When She's Ten Foot Tall..." - Grace Slick
I Question IF Wayfair Delivers Happiness. Is Consumption of Plastic Crap The Key To True Enlightenment? Did Buddha Use His Credit Card to Order a Load of More, More, More STUFF? Remember: There are Two Ways to Get Everything You Want. Get More or Want Less.
One Class I Wish I Had Taken in College was How to Use Microsoft Word and Excel. The Teacher said We Could Simpy Take the Final Exam and Challenge the Class and I Did That. If You Passed the Final, You Didn't Have to Attend The Class. Well, I Wish I Had Learned A LOT MORE about those Programs Because... At Work... They were the Most Often Used Programs... and Some Stuff Would Have been Super Handy To Know... Later, I DID Take a Class in Excel Paid for by My Employer... Because we really used that a LOT. We Created Contracts For The Clients to Sign and All the Contracts Had To Be Identical, But With Different Names, Addresses, Dates ETC. One Day, My Boss Told Me that She Had Esased the Word Document She was Working On... Well, It Is Possible to Find an Old Copy, But I Didn't Know How... I Had Never Accidentally Erased My Work so I Just Didn't Know... That Would Have Been an Opportunity To Be The Hero but...
A great TV Show is "The UnXplained" with William Shatner. Have any of You Done FIREWALKING? I don't understand how it's possible to walk on fire without doing damage to the feet. I Can Understand Not Feeling Pain in a Trance State but... The Lack of Damage is Unexplainable. My Store Manager at Radio Shack Did Firewalking. They all Chanted and Danced into a Trance and then He Did It. It was a Training Exercise for Store Managers Paid for by the Corporation Because... they felt that "If You Can Walk On Fire, You Can Certainly Run a Store." It Was A Confidence Building Exercise.
In My Experience Prayer and Meditation has been a Total Failure. Nothing Happens at All. I Have Explored Dancing Myself into a Trance at a Carlos Santana Concert and THAT was FUN... But That was All.. One time We Went to a Five Day American Indian Christian Ceremony. Two Hundred Frame Drums and Six Father Drums. I Was Allowed to Play the Father Drum... That TOO Was Fun But In No Way Did I Contact God. Many of the Other People at That Ceremony Were "Slain By The Spirit" and they Fell Down when the Preacherman Touched their Head... but I Felt Nothing... Of Course, I Have Taken LSD at a Grateful Dead Concert and THAT is AMAZING... and All Other Religious Ceremonies Seem LAME After That Experience... It Really Makes Communion at a Christian Church Seem To Be A PATHETIC JOKE... You Eat The Sacred Wafer and NOTHING HAPPENS... Well, Eat a Sacred Wafer at a Grateful Dead Concert and SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN. Have You Ever Read HAIKU On Acid? You Experience a Tidal Wave of Realization... Meaning... OH! I GET IT! EUREKA! FUN!
Sadly, I Have Never Experienced Anything Unexplainable. No UFO Encounters, NO Near Death Experiences, No Out of Body Experiences, NO Successful Prayer... Nothing... Yes, I ate Psychedelic Drugs and Saw Visions but That is a Real Cause and Effect Event. Not a Contact with God or Extraterrestrials... Even William Wilson, the Founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, Never Had a Contact With a "Higher Power" without Taking Psychedelic Drugs. He Had a "Religious Experience" While on Belladona and Henbane... now, That's some Powerful Dope! Only to be Used under Doctor's Supervision...
The Only Thing That That I Have Experienced That is Remotely Magical is the Time Effect of Programming a Computer. I Have Been "In The Zone" While Writing Code or Doing Complex Mathematical Computer Art. At School, We All Found that Time Travels Very Fast. You Start Programming and then an Instant Later, The Clock Shows That Hours Have Passed. I Have Also Experienced an Interesting MOOD After Watching the TV Show "Ancient Aliens" for Many Hours... Makes Me Wonder...
YES, I Have Experienced an Altered State of Consciousness Because of Sex. An Afterglow Does Happen... That Can be Explained by Darwin's Evolution Theory but... I Prefer to Not Explain it at all, Just Enjoy... Relax and Bliss OUT!
I Remember that one Day in the Computer Lab at School I Was Complaining about How Useless Calculus was and a Student said: "Calculus is Essential to the Design of Atomic Power Plants and Bombs. Without Calculus You Just Can't Do IT!" - SO, Not only is Calculus Useless, IT'S EVIL!
