(6) They get praise, glory, renown, immortality, reelection, and damn-near sainthood for spending other people’s money. They get vilification and hooker allegations if they dare propose spending less of it.
The Achilles heel of any representative Democracy, anyone with a big enough Ego to run for office has a correspondingly huge chance of also being an incompetent idiot. And I don’t mean they aren’t competent at being idiots if that wasn’t clear.
Bonaparte: “In politics, an absurdity is not a handicap.”
Lincoln: “No man is good enough to govern another man without that other’s consent.”
Gandhi: “Good government is no substitute for self-government.”

Sunshine laws, go away today
I don’t feel like unmaskin’
The common man’s dumb, he’s trying to run my life
Don’t care what he’s askin’
When he tells me I better get in line
Can’t hear what he’s sayin’
Lawyered up, I’m gonna be just fine
These ain’t dues I been payin’.
How much does it cost?
I’ll buy it!
The Times is almost lost?
Deny it!
He can’t even run his own life
I’ll be damned if he’ll run mine.

Have you seen the little proggies
Calling to the herds?
And for all the little proggies
Life is gutting words
Always having turds to try to polish . . .
Have you seen the piggy proggies
Chasing starched white skirts?
You will find the megaproggies
Channel Colonel Kurtz
Always pervs, stuffed shirts you can’t abolish . . .
In D.C. with all their backing
They don’t care what goes on around
They’re P.C., there’s nothing tacky
What they need’s a mainstream lackey
Everywhere there’s lots of proggies
Living “Gimme” lives
You can see them out for dinner
With their ginny wives
Clutching 4K knives,
While Tweets are breaking . . .
That’s it all in a nutshell.
Coronaries — I mean, corollaries:
(1) They can unilaterally increase the spending limit on their credit card. You can’t.
(2) They can threaten their creditors if they try to collect.
(3) None of this debt will have to be paid by them.
(4) Since they’re making so much money off lobbyists, none of this debt will have to be paid for by their families, either.
(5) They are immune to prosecution for criminal laws, to boot.
(P.S.: nearly half of that debt can be run up during one man’s presidency.)
(6) They get praise, glory, renown, immortality, reelection, and damn-near sainthood for spending other people’s money. They get vilification and hooker allegations if they dare propose spending less of it.
(7) Maxine Waters. ‘Nuff said.

Government is a collective stupidity we are smart enough not to try on our own.

The only problem with getting rid of the vermin in Congress is that they only get replaced by even crazier vermin.
