Starving Our Country

The Republicans' insistence on starving the country of revenue is like a company telling its best salesperson, "Say, we expect you to boost sales, though you'll have to do it without shoes, a car, a phone, or any communication device that might cost money, and in your underwear. But here's a golf pencil and a toy plastic abacus; you can write on napkins from your local fast food place (if they still put any out)."

This doesn't even make sense from a business perspective. It seems like they have no interest in improving our nation. They just want to rid it of the "undesirables."

But don't despair; if worse comes to worse, we can always go to fast food places and get packets of parmesan cheese, litle containers of half-and-half, and a dab of jalapeno relish, and make alfredo sauce for our forty-cents worth of noodles. That is, until the armed guards at the fast-food places beat us to a pulp.

We're not broke. We're deliberately being broken.
