Well, toss me in the smokehouse and call me a ham. About half of Congress think it is a good idea for the good ol’ US of A to borrow another trillion dollars. Now folks, a trillion dollars is a right smart bucket of money. If you take a standard pallet and stack it 38.7 inches high with brand new one hundred dollar bills you would have a little over one hundred million dollars. Ten pallets are a billion dollars and would completely fill up an average Stump County house. 10 billion is a hundred pallets of hundred dollar bills and would fill up any small house in the rest of the country. 1000 pallets is a trillion dollars and would fill up Al Bore’s house and swimming pool . A trillion dollars is $3225.80 for every man, woman, chap and child in the U S of A. A trillion dollars is a right smart pile of money. It is over $10,000 for every tax payer in America. Still some of our politicians think it is a good idea to go another trillion dollars in debt. Yestidy I was down to the general store watching Uncle Shakey and Aunty Junellen shoppin’. Shakey was sober so he was a little extra shakey but he was tryin’ to act like he was in charge. He was tryin’ to explain that it was fine to live on borrowed money and borrowed likker. He said, “ Jes as long as you gi’ em a lil interest they’ll keep on loaning.” Junellen says, “Y’ jest can’t borry your way out of debt.” And then she starts singin’ “sixteen tons and what d’ ya git, a nother day older and deeper in debt. Saint Peter don’t you call me cause I can’t go – I owe my soul to the company store.” All I can say is our Gov’mit is as shakey as Uncle Shakey when he can’t borrow likker and that’s downright scary. The Yo Mama and his cohorts finally took a stand but it was to borrow another trillion dollars. They said, If you don’t let us borrow another trillion we’ll just shut down the whole dadburned Gov’mit. Well, they shut it down and then blamed the Republicons who were also wrong but not on the not borrowing anymore. Then to try to make a point they sent home a bunch of unnecessary folks but told them they would get paid sometime for not working. That says a whole dadgum bunch. Apparently some of these folks are so used to getting’ paid for not working they are willing to sit home and get paid for not workin’. Ain’t nobody got any pride anymore? Somehow they had enough folks hanging around to put up barricades at the Veteran’s memorial, to block off some roads and generally try to annoy folks. They even tried to block off the Grand Canyon. I’ve got bad news for those self-serving petty bureaucraps. They can try but they can’t block the American people any more than they can block off the Colorado River.
