We're Safe...

...if only for a little while.

Yes, my fellow Patriots, it just struck me that for this week, and next, and perhaps the one(s) after that, the Congress of these here United States, the very same one we pay so dearly to fund, is completely engrossed in trying to either convict The President of the United States of abuse and corruption and frog-march him from the Capitol Building, or acquit him, to the everlasting shame and guilt of the opportunistic miscreant bozos who sought to oust him via this bogus impeachment sham in the first place.

(Yes, I am, the Certified Master of the Longish Sentence.  Back to enlightened pontificating...)

Anyway, for now you and me, the taxpayers that keep this boat afloat, the 53% of American wage-earners who actually pay all the income taxes, are safe for now from the sophomoric drunken spending spree that so defines The Swamp.  Why?  Because all of Congress is enmeshed in an impeachment trial.  And because of that... 

     *  They Will Not pass any new laws this week or next. 

     *  They Will Not pass any new taxes this week or next.  

     *  And they Will Not legislate any new rules or regulations this week or next.  

And thus, our lives, yours and mine, are relatively safe from the nonsense that regularly infests the District of Columbia.

Remember Will Rogers, our Prairie Poet's famous quote? 

"We're lucky we don't get all the Government we pay for!"  

Now, if we could just figure out a way to have some of this same activity visit itself on Sacrataxyou.  We Californians could use some same relief from the incessant "Venezuelanization" of our once-Golden State.  

Oh yeah, on the way out the metaphorical door, I'd like to pass along the famous quote from famous 19th century New York newspaperman and politician Gideon J. Tucker:  

"No man's life, liberty or property are safe so long as the Legislature is in session."

Count yourself among the fortunate.  We're safe.  But only for a little while...
