Controlling the Weather...

What is it about the Democrats, and more specifically the "Progressives," that makes them think they can control the weather?  And by throwing money at it?  Reeeely?  

So Senator Chuckie Schumer managed to corral Senator Joe Manchin long enough to get him to agree to the new and laughably called, "The Inflation Reduction Act."

And it seems they've also managed to bring Sen. Kristin Senema (D-AZ) along to this destroy-America party as well.  She wanted a whole bunch of goodies for her $Billionaire donors in Arizona, which Chuckie S. was happy to provide.  Imagine being so powerful you can say, "Sure, we'll just increase corporate taxes!"  Or, "Sure, we'll just give your State $5 Billion in drought relief!"  Not AZ's neighbors NM, or CA, which are also suffering with droughts of their own, the very same friggin' drought, just AZ.  Talk about chintzy!  

This $739 Billion Dollar Bill is actually nothing but a slimmed-down "Bill's Back's Better," which was the $3.5 Trillion Dollar Bill good ol' Joe O'Biden wanted so desperately to pass last year.  And but for Manchin, he would have.  And we, America, would have been screwed.  Or, ever more screwed than this newer edition will make us.  I guess we have that to be thankful for.  

But as I said, they lie when the truth would sound better.

My favorite part of this new Bill is the $367 Billion it earmarks for "Climate."  Or, better put, "controlling the climate."  They, these two-dimensional partisan dimbulb ideologues, actually believe they can control the weather!  Like Castro thought all Cubans would like living in a dictatorship.  They don't seem to realize that "climate" is a function of what everyone on Earth does, not just America.  Hey!  The atmosphere rotates counter-clockwise of the Earth.  So what's in Shanghai today will be in Taxifornia next Saturday.

But because they're so idealistic, and so overwhelmingly underqualified to make decisions on this level, they seem to think they we can somehow "fix" the "climate crisis."  Of which there isn't one.  By "throwing" $327 Billion Dollars at it.  What a bunch of ignorant fools...

Whaddaya' wanna' bet Paul Pelosi gets a big chunk of that?

I suggest another tack they might take.  I suggest we just take hundreds of thousands of brand-new $100 Dollar Bills and throw them out the door of a helicopter hovering over mid-town Manhattan.  And simulfriggintaneously over the  Miracle Mile in Chicago.  And downtown Baltimore (careful, they shoot at helicopters!).  And maybe even Austin, TX, where escapees from Taxifornia brought all their bad habits.  

We could call it "climate change," as it would be just as likely to "change the climate" as spending it on windmills.  Hey, try Googling "extreme weather events 12,500 years."  You'll discover that we've had at least two mini-ice ages and two global warming events in that time-frame.  But they don't have time to Google.  They're too busy saving the planet.  At least the passage of this new and destructive legislation might have the advantage of ending the fruitless conversation on the subject, and also enrich a whole bunch of vagrants waiting below.  

I'll bet they'd promise to be eco-friendly in exchange for those $Benjamins...

Or maybe a few $Million over Chicago's Southside, where everyone is shooting each other.  Maybe they could stop and pick up a few bucks (Hey!  Ammo's expensive!).  And then over every Big Blue Democrat-run city north of I-70 (it cuts America in half, if you hadn't noticed!).  Maybe if they had some more cash in their jeans they'd stop trying to kill each other and every cop they see.

Anyway, this new piece of legislation will cost you and me almost $One Trillion Dollars.  Just as we are trying to tamp down the flames of inflation (too many dollars chasing too few goods).  Sprinkling another $Trillion onto a superheated economy will have disastrous effects.  Remember, they're spending OUR money!  Wouldn't you like to have a say in how it's spent?  I'll bet you thought you did?

But the Democrats are flailing away at anything they can find to try and change the downward spiral in which they now find themselves.  They are going down in flames.  They're hoping that any new spending could possibly buy them a few more votes, and maybe a new lease on life.

I doubt it.  They're going to lose the House.  And even with what I consider to be flawed candidates (Dr. Oz in PA and Hershel in GA), they'll still squeak out a one Senator win to take back the Senate (my prediction; hold me to it).

And then we'll be in an armlock with whoever's behind the curtain, writing the words O'Biden reads on the TelePrompTer.  HE'S the guy running the show.  And HE'S the guy we need to hamstring for the next two years.  

Hold up your hand if you think his last name starts with "O."
