P.S. Elected Officials

Visit my previous post -- A Little (Very Little) Fun VIII. I have my doubts that you elected officials in D.C. can create a coherent sentence out of even one of the group of words.

Sarcasm? Yes. Deserved? IMO, Yes!

Very attention grabbing!!

Great words and Stinging dialouge.

Babysitting is a great word for our government and the policies they create in their cribs.

Nice Post!!!

Good one, Jason. Didn't think of it that way. It does indeed seem ironic that these ... people ... in D.C. who are so smug and condescending are the very ones who are acting infantile in their understanding of base concepts relative to our Constitutional Republic.

Thanx for your spot on comments, Jason.

Mrs. AL

I have been swamped with work. Projects in Port Gibson, Moorhead, Oxford, Yazoo City, and Clarksdale, MS. I even got two more small projects in the last 3 days. I have never had this much work. Never.

I didn't even mention my solar project in Missisippi and Louisiana. I am also in the process of getting my PE license in Louisiana. (I already have a PE license in Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Alabama.)

You are correct about the time required to deal with the feds. And two of the above jobs are helping companies deal with the feds.

Federal bureaucrats never understand that when companies have to deal with the federal government it costs time and money. All the bureaucrat has to worry about is "proving" his job is necessary. Therefore bureaucrats constantly make up more things for non-bureaucrats to do and that they (the bureaucrats) can keep track of.

I agree!!!!!!!

Furthermore, WE have to read and decide on what's available and important. These nidiots write 1000+ page bills, mostly put together/written by aides and lobbyists, then don't even bother to read what's in there before voting it into law. They just trust that the huddled masses will pay, but they won't have to.

Thanks for outlining the truth, but they can't handle the truth.

You are right, everyone's time is more valuable than yours. I have written and called politicians and have never even got an acknowledgement. In other words, there time is more valuable than to address a question or concern from a mere mortal like myself. So it should not shock anyone they have no problem wasting our time with bad legislation.

You sure sound busy and I am grateful you took the time to come by, Gray Ghost. May you continue to get projects and spend minimal time dealing with the b’cats. It’s a pain.

Right On, Mrs. AL!

The koolaid drinking masses cannot always take the time to be aware of what CONgress is up to and that is exactly what our elected reps/senators depend on in order to do their dirty deeds! Things are happening way too fast for so many people who have families, jobs, and lives. Often, they get caught unaware and wonder "WTH". It is the number one reason prez is in office right now! Not many were paying attention and they wanted "chains".

I did visit your previous blog, Mrs. AL, but I was having a very hard time building sentences after so many other creative entries! If you can give me until next week, I may be able to string a couple thoughts together! Excellent blog, Mrs. AL!

I think many of the people here who comment, including yourself, could take the positions in government, while the governors would fail at your positions. Heck, I believe many here know more about politics and/or the constitution, while listening to others, than do those on the hill. Amazing that they've forgotten about us regular American citizens, who it seems could lead better than those elected.

Truthfully, I did borrow the concept of people's time being an limited asset of their freedom, to which they are solely entitled. But I borrowed the notion from Mark Levin who may have found it in older texts (or may not have, in his own profound understanding).

Glad to see other great minds exist. You're exactly right, Washington doesn't listen except to populism. The Constitution matters to them insofar as it propels their own agenda. Insofar as it does not, they manipulate it or simply ignore it.

It’s getting to the point that I may have to make an in-person appointment to get their attention. Yea, like they will talk with a Citizen who has an inkling, right?

As for VAT … given my more advanced age I remember this idea being floated yeeeears ago. And the same people that were in a drunken stooper then are still in office today.

Thanx for stopping by, Dave, and I appreciate your comment very much.

If there is one thing I think most of us can agree on, is that wresting power from D.C. is the order of the day. Period. We can scrap about other issues within our own states.

I will be stopping by your place as soon as possible to see what you have going on there.

Nice to know that CA is the big Titanic and we are going down. Yeah!

I am not sure anymore how I am surviving. Our gas is going up. And all food prices are going up again.

Our state is broke, our country is broke, but wait....Obama is loved by all and popular. Well, I guess things are good. Yikes!
