Bulls**t Walks

Money talks.  Bullshit walks.

It walked in Motown last week.

And yes, money talks.

Mr. President, may I suggest some money talk that will resonate louder with American workers than walking a picket line?  

I guarantee that they would love to hear you say:

·        “I am ending the war on fossil fuel that makes it costly to drive your cars, heat your homes, and feed your families.”

·        “I am giving up my obsession with electric cars that causes your companies to make a few expensive, high-margin vehicles as opposed to many affordably priced cars.  This costs jobs.”

·        “I will no longer send untold billions to prop up the corrupt Ukrainian regime and to extend the war which I helped instigate. A war that enriches connected elites.  My bad.  Sorry”

·        “Let's get out of NATO.  Those rich European welfare states can pay for their own defense.  Hell, if Russia can’t lick Ukraine, how the hell can they whip Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and more?”

·        “Let’s stop policing the world.  Geoge Wahington warned America to avoid foreign “controversies, the causes of which are essentially foreign to our concerns”.  J.Q. Adams warned America against going ‘abroad, in search of monsters to destroy.’  Let’s listen to these guys and bring our brave young men and women home.” 


·        “Let’s end student loans that are just income transfers to the ivory tower elites who mock your values while saddling your kids with so much debt that they can't afford to marry, buy a home, and give you grandkids.”

·        “And let’s stop all this crazy borrowing and spending that’s destroying your savings and making your paycheck buy less, even if get a raise for a few more bucks..”

Mr. President, sir, If you were to say such common sense things to put more money in workers' pockets and make their paychecks go further, they would love you in Detroit.

Hate you in Ann Arbor but love you in Detroit.

But you can never speak such heresy because you are no longer Joe of Scranton or Joe of Claymont.  If you ever were.

You are now Joe of Hollywood, of Georgetown, of Brussels and Wall Street.

 Dear readers, please do not suppose that I am a partisan. The opposition offers little to no alternative.

The establishment of both parties endorses interventionism, global empire, military overreach, ever-increasing debt, central banking, a federal income tax, and phony-baloney fiat currency.  They quibble over marginal percentages within an astronomical budget and about who can use the Ladies' Room.
