\"JanetSince she\u2019s been wrong on just about every single thing over the past 3 years, I cynically wonder if I should, as a matter of course, invert anything that comes out of her mouth.<\/p>\n

I also wonder if she meant unaffordable for the Federal Government? My assumption is that if the Federal Government was 1\/3 its current size and functional, that perhaps the tariff idea would work.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just about taxes. It\u2019s about the horrific inefficiency of the Federal Government. It\u2019s about the way our leadership spends money like drunken sailors. They remind me of a shopping addicted, depressed housewife with a credit card watching QVC all day long. \u00a0Believe me, that\u2019s a combination that you do not want.<\/p>\n

In the case of our government, we don\u2019t ever see the UPS guy delivering boxes of crap that end up being returned or just going right in the trash can. Our government has found that dumping our money directly in the trash is far more expedient.<\/p>\n

You might think I\u2019m being funny. I\u2019m not. I\u2019ve seen first hand what the husbands of shopping addicted folks have to put up with. I\u2019ve seen the stress & strain, the haunted look on a man\u2019s face when the credit card bills keep rolling in and the house is filling with useless crap. I\u2019ve witnessed the fights, the divorces, the \u201cdiscovery\u201d of a whole bunch of joint credit cards a guy didn\u2019t know his spouse had opened.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not much of a stretch to describe the American Taxpayers as the abused breadwinner being saddled with ever increasing debt by a spouse who insists on buying the Pretty Polly collectors edition faux porcelain doll with genuine agate buttons for only $495. Followed by the same Pretty Polly in a different color dress with genuine synthetic azurite buttons for $595. Both can be purchased together for $1550 and you get free shipping with a certificate of authenticity.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Our government has forgotten that they\u2019re supposed to provide Value<\/strong><\/em> for the dollars they\u2019ve spent. Lately, all we\u2019ve gotten for the taxes they\u2019ve burned so frivolously is the equivalent of a shitload of Pretty Polly dolls, and a maxed out credit card at 22% interest.<\/p>\n

Janet Yellen reminds me of the woman who, after the divorce, decides to part with her collection of Pretty Polly dolls, only to discover that every single version she purchased with its \u201cCertificate of Authenticity\u201d is available on eBay for .10 + $22.95 shipping and that she\u2019s not going to be able to pay the rent.<\/p>\n

Eventually the Federal Government will reach a point that the American Taxpayer demands a divorce. The manner in which that happens remains to be seen.<\/p>\n

The Federal Government in general and this Administration in particular have done more to make the American People turn away in disgust than any time I can remember.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That being said, I watched the Watergate scandal and Nixon\u2019s resignation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
