Ah, "Button, button, who has the button?" Now there's a childhood flashback and, unfortunately, an ominous dark cloud on the horizon.
I do remember a time while this administration was touted to be the savior of our nation's fiscal future. "Cutting Taxes," always a popular tune, was the song to ring in the hearts of the voters; and President Bush was the Pied Piper who would lead us into prosperity. Now all I see is the latest version of the shell game. Okay, perhaps this is the 3-Card Monty version? Regardless, I now see no light at the end of the tunnel. Shoot, I don't even see a worn path in the grass; and I don't think the current administration can see the forest for all those pesky trees.
Ribald statements are too easy at this point and I do so love a controversy, so saying here are some questions I'd appreciate answers to:
1. How many times has the current administration borrowed against our (federal employees) retirement fund (the G Fund) up to this point?
2. How many more times will he borrow against the G Fund?
3. What's the record for such actions?
Okay, I can't resist a statement. "Mr. President, please say it isn't so. Tell us you have a plan."
Does anyone really believe the current administration has a competent accountant; or could recognize one, two out of three times?
Tip off.
