I read my first and last story about the potential government shutdown in October. The government won’t shut down because Republican lawmakers will cave to anything the Democrats want. And, that means that we will all get screwed once again. Whether it’s the debt ceiling or a shutdown, we end up paying the price.
Stop, Drop and Roll
Whenever you see any news about the potential government shutdown in October, you need to stop, drop and roll. Stop reading or watching. Drop whatever you are reading or watching. And, roll to somewhere else to read or watch something different.
I don’t think we should give this story a second of our attention because it is a “fait accompli.” That means the government won’t shut down no matter what we say or do. There will be a million articles and videos about how the Republicans are going to use this to achieve things. But, don’t read or watch any of it. You will be wasting precious time in your life and you will keep yourself from the disappointment later when the Republicans sell you out.
Status Quo
It will be the status quo for the Republicans yet again. They’ll make threats and pretend that they are fighting for us. But, they’ll really be in the halls of congress cutting bad deals and agreeing to anything the hostile Democrats want. And of course, the Democrats will wait until the night before the potential government shutdown and rape the Republicans for everything they have. Does that sound familiar like the debt limit negotiations?
Why?
Why does this happen to the Republicans over and over? I always ask myself this question. And, I apologize that I have asked it before. Here are some of my theories:
- The Republicans are just plain stupid.
- The Republicans are scared of the Democrats.
- The Democrats are holding something over the Republicans’ heads.
- The Republicans and the Democrats are playing for the same team.
- Mitch McConnell identifies as a five year old Democrat girl.
Conclusion
We are about to get screwed again, so get ready. I repeat. The government won’t shut down in October. So, please don’t spend any time reading or watching anything about it. You will get high hopes only to be disappointed yet again. Our lawmakers don’t care about us. Just look at some of the approval numbers for them. Some are in single digit approval, yet they don’t change anything. Nothing in our slimy government is going to change soon. So, I won’t torture myself reading about the next pipe that I’m going to take in my lower rear extremity.
