Before you stock up on milk, bread and eggs, please read this breaking news: The Sky Is Not Falling. If you listened to Henny Penny, Cocky Locky, Ducky Lucky, Goosey Loosey, and Turkey Lurkey, you may buy into to the narrative that it is. Foxy Loxy, who was willing to use their ignorance against them exposed the lie, just before he was going lure them into his cave to eat them for dinner.
Henny Penny is a children's book of stories written in the late 1800's, but the moral of this story, "don't believe the hype", holds true today. Hungry Foxes can't be trusted.
The hype: if we don't further mortgage our great-grandchildren's future, we will all starve to death. Do you remember Y2K? Everything was going to just shut down, stop working, because computers were not set to go into the 21st century. We were to believe that cows would stop giving milk, wheat and grain would no longer grow and chickens would stop laying eggs? They didn't really tell us that, rather they tried to sell us that.
If the government shuts down tonight at midnight, the sky will not fall. Only non-essential services will be put on hold, something I see as a blessing. It will expose the non-essential services which really are non-essential and the barrels of pork our elected Congressmen profit from. It's both sides, Democrats and Republicans.
We the people overwhelmingly put our trust behind Donald J. Trump to lead us out of the mess, including more than $36 trillion of debt. Like any good leader, he is appointing the best and the brightest to carry out his plan. No one man can do what he wants done; really what we the people want done.
When I started writing this, I was wondering if a Republican Congressman was silly or just condescending by referring to Elon Musk as President Musk. Then, just like what exposed Foxy Loxy, the nut fell on my head and I realized it was all about him. He doesn't want his gig to end. He is there for himself, not we the people. We have to vote these people out.
A proud American,
