Actually, I am not predicting anything here, call it a “bait & switch” title to my worthless rant.
I really do not have a problem with Massachusetts losing a seat in Congress for the next go around.
I just simply do not understand the logic of a state gaining something north of three per cent in population and then somehow losing a Representative. This could only make sense to a government official.
It is sort of like calling increases in spending programs “cuts” because the increase is not enough to satisfy a few mathematically challenged people who don't actually pay for the alleged cuts out of their own income.
Speaking of income cuts, I did not get a raise this year. I work harder than ever these days at my place and the only thing that went up besides my work load was the prices in the cafeteria. How come the cafeteria got a raise and I got a lump of coal? I was mostly good, while the food there was,...not so much.
I know why. It is a lot worse than I just made it seem here, but what can one person do besides rant about the unfairness of the politically correct Universe? But I cannot talk about the real reason why. Not until I get another job somewhere, which is quite unlikely to happen because I simply never apply anywhere, and my Resume’ is hopelessly out of date and meaningless.
It sure is however, comforting to know that members of Congress are feeling some of my pain. Barney Frank had to blow (no pun intended) two hundred thousand Bucks of his own dough for his very first reelection campaign ever after 30 years.
Frank's return to the Congress is a perfect example of the Mindless exercising their Rights to undermine the votes of rational thinking persons in dozens of different languages without even an ID required.
That money Frank used was probably targeted toward something other than his posterity because unless he is a foster father he ain't got none. What will Barney Frank do with his hundreds of thousands once he goes over the Rainbow?
I will never understand. That is why I rarely ask myself rhetorical questions.
So money, to people with no kids or grand kids to fret about probably does mean so much as it does to those of us who have actually raised a few brats in order that they can be punished down the road for their wicked little toddler antics. If I had $200,000 Dollars sitting around in an account somewhere I sure would not waste it on getting elected to Congress.
I'd spend it all on my wicked grandchildren and enjoy Christmas watching the smiles on their wicked little faces as they rip paper and drink egg nogg and make messes.
Barney Frank's job is to make that impossible for me to enjoy the fruits of my labor and the fruit of my loins.
He has his job, and I've got mine to protect.
Tax and spend, lie and steal, deny my children the opportunity to enjoy watching the children of their children on Christmas day and Summer vacations, and all of the things in between.
My job is to try and stop him, any way that I can, short of violence of course.
Someday the keyboard may prove to be mightier than the sword swallower in Congress.
I so despise these spenders of my family's future.
HA! I’ve been wondering where you’ve been. There you are.
Now, to read your rant.
Well said.
