HAPPY TAX DAY... What, it's not?

Happy Tax Day! What? It's not Tax Day? It's April 15th! It's Friday, It's not a holiday... huh? What holiday? A federal holiday? Emancipation Day? Would someone mind telling me why we are now celebrating a holiday at the federal government for Emancipation Day? There is only one HUGE PROBLEM! We are not free anymore. We are now all slaves to the federal government and its out of control spending that has no sign of it coming to an end or even slowing up.

Now before you start telling me about how we just got a new budget bill passed and how there are spending cuts in it, let me make sure you fully understand what just happened with that bill, WE ALL GOT FAKED OUT AND LIED TO BY OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS! It is still business as usual in Washington DC. The freshmen congressmen were all told to "shut up and sit down in the front row so we can publicly humiliate you and call you all sorts of fun names and blame the Apocalypse and every other evil thing coming to us in the future on you!" We the citizens were told to "go back to sleep, the government is in control and all is well."

You see, the $100 BILLION budget cuts that we were promised by our newly elected House of Representatives was put in the dryer for too long and it shrunk down to a $68 BILLION budget bill that was passed by the House and then compromised down to a huge $38 BILLION bill that Congress could agree on with all kinds of back slapping and smiles because they got to work and came to a compromise to keep the lights on at the government. Isn't that nice, a $32 BILLION slip and then a $30 BILLION slip and then a $37.628 BILLION fib because the Congressional Budget Office told the truth and said that it really only saved $372 MILLION instead of the $38 BILLION they were all lying to us about. But then we now find out that if we count the extra money we are spending this year fighting three wars instead of two from last year, we are actually spending $3.3 BILLION more than we spent last year? If I lost you, just trust me, we all got lied to the extent of $103.3 BILLION! Doesn't this just seem like the good old days again?

I don't know about you, but I am mad. No, irate. No I can't even see straight, there is blood in my eyes and it is a good thing Washington DC is as far away as it is or I would throw "Slushies" on every one of them! Sorry "Glee" I know I don't fit your standards for copying your show.

58% of Americans wanted the GOP to stand firm and demand the full reduction in the spending. 68% of the TEA Party members wanted the GOP to stand firm and demand the full reduction in spending. Does anyone notice how close the numbers are these days? I think the TEA Party has either grown massively or they now have a huge number of ex "thought we were progressives but I guess we're not" people siding with them.

So they passed the budget bill, with a projected $1.65 TRILLION deficit larger than last year's $1.29 TRILLION budget and larger than the year prior to that of $1.42 TRILLION deficit. Yes for all of you that don't have your calculator at your side, this wonderful new administration has orchestrated a deficit to the tune of $4.36 TRILLION so far. More than 30% of the total debt accumulated in the history of our 235 year old country in just three years! Congratulations all of you in Washington! You win the total idiot prizes of the millennium! And we thought the Greeks, Brazilians and France were messed up in their economies!

So if it takes you one day before you get to read this, just remember the government used that same time wisely and only spent $10.49 BILLION in that day. How lucky are we to have such wonderful people watching over OUR money and the future of our all of us so well.
