Whether you are in favor of the Tax-Reform Bill currently working its way through our 9% Approval Rated Congress or not, this is what is happening to it.
Many members of our 9% Approval Rated Congress are obsessed with themselves. If they can’t get what they want then the Good Ole USofA will not be allowed to have what the voting majority of the other 434 members of congress have decided is good for the country.
Allow me to use Silliness to demonstrate the Absurdity of this Senselessness.
Senator Foghorn Leghorn has the floor. He first lays out the areas of agreement he shares with his other 434 Good Friends in the Congress…
Ø He agrees that the proposal to mail out a 1,000 Bill to every citizen of the Good Ole USofA is a good one.
Ø He acknowledges that this windfall is the Key to Stimulating the struggling economy of the Good Ole USofA.
Ø He agrees that without this Pump Priming the economy will certainly go into a deep recession that will take decades from which to recover.
Ø He understands there are 10s of thousands of Americans are on the brink of committing suicide and, if these 1,000 bills are not received within the next 48 hours, these desperate folks will certainly pull the trigger.
Ø That having been said, he feels very strongly that his proposal to install little Shoot the Chutes in all chicken houses in his district is a good one.
Ø Once these Shoot the Chutes are installed, the chickens in his district will no longer have to walk to the head chopping machine but will be able to happily slide to their impending doom.
Ø There are tears in his eyes as he talks about the joy his district’s chickens will feel as they chirp out a chorus of “Wees” in their last few seconds of life.
He then closes with the dramatic statement that shocks every citizen of the Once Good Ole USofA into abject silence…
“I am, therefore, prepared to vote No on this very worthwhile proposal. Ever since I was first sent here to represent my district 42 years ago I have always done my duty as I saw my duty was to be done. This here life-saving and wonderful proposal will not go forward without my vote and my vote is a No Vote unless the chickens that sent me here get their Shoot the Chutes!”
Congressional Motto:
I acknowledge I don’t know what I am talking about but that does not mean I don’t know what I am talking about.
Would I kid u?

Lagniappe: Don’t comment on this blog and tell me that, if Senator Foghorn Leghorn was the only No Vote, the proposal would pass. I know that. Do you not remember that the name of this Blog is Foolishness…Or Is It? Or stated another way… Using Absurdity to make a point about Folly.

Sometimes I wonder if any of our senators and representatives, that we maintain so lavishly in Washington, still even know how to spell constituent or what one is.
If any of them do know, surely they must also know down deep in their hearts, that what is good for themselves must be good for their constituents. So taking care of their own interests must be good for the country. Add another page to the tax bill!
