Scary

Just in case you didn’t unfriend me YESTERDAY for my financial rant.

Here are the links:

The article (NPR)

and the data to back it up (I did the research, FYI: y’all know I don’t trust people…)

Sigh..straight off of the Congressional Budget Office’s website itself: CBO’s 2011 Long-Term Budget Outlook: Testimony Before the House Budget Committee from June. SCARY, SCARY stuff. The stuff of nightmares.

You think I’m kidding? I’m NOT. Forget ghosts, vampires, the plague. This stuff will make you lose sleep, especially if you go ahead and then think about the clowns we’ve elected to deal with it, or the people who are stepping up to run against them. Sarah Palin? I DO NOT think so. Alternatively, leave Nancy Pelosi in charge? WTF? She can’t make a complete sentence in front of a camera and I think the constant Botox has gotten to her brain. No, no, no. Ditto Barny Frank and his cronies, they’ve been in office since before I was born and have no idea what REAL America is like. Boot them out. But…replace them with…who? The alternative is grim.

Grim. It’s 15h15 and I’m grabbing a beer. This shit will drive me to drink. WTH, it’s the weekend and I’m not driving anywhere in this heat. I’m going to have a beer, fold some laundry, and ignore the problems of the country for the rest of the day. Just like a politician.
