It seems like every time we turn around our 9% Approval Rated Congress is all wrapped up in the possibility of Shutting Down the Government or Not Shutting down the Government. As I peck this Blog Posting out, they are at it again.
Sometimes they Shut It Down and sometimes they Do Not Shut It Down. Whatever they do, it seems to make no never mind about anything. The sun still comes up the next morning. We just keep on keeping on. The only thing “accomplished” every time we go through one of these episodes is I get confused about something that I hear the TV Talking Heads talk their heads about every time this happens...
We are always told that Essential Bureaucrats keep working but Non-Essential Bureaucrats do not keep working. There are times when I talk out loud to myself and this is one of those times. I will say to myself something along these lines, “Self, if the jobs are Not-Essential, why do they have these jobs at all?”
Is a Non-Essential Job a Job that is not Important or is it a Job that
is not needed? If it is not important and/or not needed, why don’t we save the
money and not give them the job in the first place?
After all the smoke has cleared, they all get paid. I don’t mean they
start getting their salary again. What I mean is they get all their pay
including the pay they did not get when the Government Was Shut Down. I’ll say
it another way, They Just
Enjoyed a Paid Vacation.
And the whole time they were enjoying their paid vacations we were
sitting in front of our TVs worried about their survival.
Would I kid u?

good at...Happy Hours and Going on Recesses.
