The Budget Mess

Is there a more tiresome, complex and confusing subject? Perhaps, but The New Terrapin cannot imagine it. The mere thought of being involved in “negotiations” with a cynical ideologue who spouts untruthful, jargon-laden slogans and makes demands that cannot rationally be met is immensely fatiguing. Just getting a man like Obama to understand the logic of one’s contrary viewpoint must be a Sisyphean task, for all ideologues find it almost impossible to suspend the self-censorship imposed by their partisan faiths. They don’t recognize the world out there, and they can’t deal with it without using force. For The One, it’s a problem that calls for increases in control and threats of punishment, which he sees as proper tools of government.

Is there a more tiresome, complex and confusing subject?

I tell you what. It's got my head spinning so bad, that I can hardly read more than the headlines any more. I've never seen something so simple obscured by so much complexity.

Naturally, the treasonous bastards want it that way. Any husband and wife could sit down at their kitchen table and handle this budget fiasco over an evening pizza.

The truth is always simple. Lies are always complex.
