Botched Plagiarism

(D)ude: Man! Congressman Paul Ryan’s House Budget for fiscal year 2015 The Path to Prosperity is written so poorly that as a registered American voter, I feel obligated to cast my ballot in the primary elections in Tarrant County on Tuesday, May 27, 2014 and the midterm elections on Tuesday, November 4, 2014 for the sake of generations before and after ours.

(M)an: Dude! The Path to Prosperity for fiscal year 2015 by the House Budget Committee is a chaotic mess of an embarrassment. Mr. Smith went to Washington, but Paul Ryan and the Congressional Republicans should be nowhere near Capitol Hill and the White House! Their presence alone depreciates the collective intelligence in any and every room.

D: Man! My great aunt used to sing a tune about a couple that decided to save some cents by hiring a nanny who made no sense and ended up with children who only knew nonsense. I feel like I have been subjected to the same kind of intellectual risks after reading through Congressman Ryan’s puerile outbursts.

M: Dude! Does Paul Ryan have anything other than a sterile wasteland upstairs?

D: Man! Badlands? Could be. However, I suspect Paul Ryan to be more cunning.

M: Dude! What? Machiavellian? Paul Ryan or the Koch Brothers?

D: Man! I was thinking more along the lines of ‘Sharia compliant finance’ or Islamic banking and the Republican Tea GOP today. Did you know that under the principles of Sharia law, interest and usury particularly are prohibited?

M: Dude! Then I would have to suspect Tony Blair and George Walker Bush as connivers and suspects in such a loophole, given the looting of the oil infrastructures in Iraq during the Blair and Bush years. What can we do besides vote and commit to voting regularly and religiously for the Democratic Ticket?

D: Man! Paul Ryan’s House Budget Committee’s The Path is outrageously horrible, brutal, awful, bad, foolish, offensive, and shameful. Pages 9 and 10 read like a botched case of plagiarism where the offenders basically turned against each other despite being assigned to the very same group,

The President’s budget never balances—ever. Instead, it allows our debt to spiral out of control. If the last five years are any indication, that simply won’t work. And if we don’t change course soon, both the budget and the economy will continue to decline. What the country really needs is an alternative. The administration has bottled up the forces of innovation and free enterprise; we need to invigorate them. We need a plan that will provide for the nation’s needs, that will allow families and job creators to rebuild the economy, and that will finally balance the budget.

…la, la, la…

The Path to Prosperity balances the budget by tackling the drivers of our debt: autopilot spending and interest payments.

…la, la, la…

Our corporate tax rate is the highest in the industrialized world, and the tax code is full of loopholes and deductions that serve only the well-connected. Independent economists agree that a plan to lower rates and broaden the base would spur economic growth. There are a number of good tax-reform proposals. Although the Path to Prosperity does not embrace any particular proposal, it calls for a tax code that is simpler, fairer, and more competitive.

…la, la, la…   

M: Dude! Page 18 brings out the worst in the Congressional Republicans regarding the obstructionist policies that they have been trying to shove upon US constituents because of our twice popularly elected Commander In Chief having been able to actually utilize all economic models, including trickle down Reaganomics, to restructure an impossibly collapsed system of enterprise in the United States, lest we forget the recession, auto bailout, and resuscitation of Wall Street. And now the ineffectual Congressional Republicans under the leadership of the worked-up Paul Ryan are dismissing the President of the United States as practicing crony capitalism or corporate welfare. Surprisingly, the President only maneuvered and remedied the crises left behind by the previous administration. Additionally, the President also has the mettle, marriage, and resulting self-confidence to not fall into the traps laid before President Clinton like Temporary Assistance to Needy Families. Instead, President Obama has fought and won the American people the opportunity to affordable healthcare, which states run by Republican governors and legislatures today have obstructed too through blocking Medicaid Expansion and delaying the implementation of the Affordable Care Act.       

Although the U.S. economy technically emerged from recession nearly five years ago, the subsequent recovery has been subpar.  

D: Man! The top 2 percent did not allow for the trickling down of anything substantial to US remaining 98 percent! And I suspect that the President did not foresee such avarice on the part of the 2 percent of Americans at the top towards those at the bottom rung of society, lest the 2 percent forget the middle class and those even closer towards them but still struggling!

M: Dude! From page 31 and onwards, the emphasis for change is insincere and superficial and just as dubious as the top 2 percent in the United States were when the President applied the trickle down effect mechanics and the rich got richer while the rest of US were deemed responsible for our bleak circumstances, hence, undeserving of the historic social safety net structures that remain in place thanks to the fervor and ethics of the Democratic Party and are our last hope for support and upward mobility,

It recommends paring back spending in areas of duplication and non-core functions, such as applied and commercial research and development projects best left to the private sector. The budget aims to roll back such federal intervention and corporate-welfare spending across the energy sectors.    

D: Man! Duplication appears to be the buzzword for the Congressional Republicans, page 33 mentions it as well,

The budget resolution recognizes the importance of Function 300 activities—which include water-resources, conservation, environmental, land-management, and recreational programs—but bigger government has not led to better government, and the increase in spending in this function has only invited mismanagement and duplication.

M: Dude! What about the environmental disasters taking place across the United States, thanks in part to the private sector not coming under the pressure of government regulators, like Duke Energy’s coal ash spills and North Carolina Republican Governor Pat McCrory, or Exxon Mobil’s oil mishaps in the Gulf of Mexico and Texas GOP Governor Rick Perry, Louisiana GOP Governor Bobby Jindal, Mississippi GOP Governor Phil Bryant, Alabama GOP Governor Robert J. Bentley, and Florida GOP Governor Rick Scott?

D: Man! Not only is there an issue of the Republican Party leadership’s dissatisfaction with the Obama Administration concerning transparency, the Republican Party itself refuses to embrace transparency itself. Instead, the Republican Tea GOP masquerades as if nobody really cares to keep a tally on their vast range of lies and public blunderings. Like Speaker of the House John Boehner, for example, insisting no need to protect the American people from disasters like the chemical spill in West Virginia that left residents without clean water for over five days,

The issue is this: We have enough regulations on the books. And what the administration ought to be doing is actually doing their jobs. Why wasn’t this plant inspected since 1991? I am entirely confident that there are ample regulations already on the books to protect the health and safety of the American people. Somebody ought to be held accountable here. What we try to do is look at those regulations that we think are cumbersome, are over the top, and that are costing the economy jobs. That’s where our focus continues to be.  

M: Dude! It’s a really fascinating phenomenon, how the Republican Tea GOP leaders chew grits but spit out tobacco. Or, they chew gum but spit out the foil from those chocolate Cadbury Easter eggs.

D: Man! What’s going on?

M: Dude! The bottom line is that the Republican Tea GOP Budget would enforce coffee magnate Starbucks to place its cold coffee plus milk drinks into plastic bottles built for hairspray essentially, despite the dairy industry’s utilization of recyclable cartons and plastic jugs for the transportation of milk of all sorts, from buttermilk to eggnog to just plain basic whole milk or the percentages blends.

D: Man! No! No?

M: Dude! Paul Ryan went from this on March 12, 2014,

We have got this tailspin of culture, in our inner cities in particular, of men not working and just generations of men not even thinking about working or learning to value the culture of work, so there is a real culture problem here that has to be dealt with.

To this on March 19, 2014,

There was nothing whatsoever about race in my comments at all. It had nothing to do with race.

D: Man! Someone save the Republican Tea GOP from itself! God save US from the Republican Tea GOP! Do you think the top 2 percent that comprise of the wealthiest in our country have a questionable palette as well?

M: Dude! The American Press gets roasted every evening by its’ designated oligarch. Whether it is Charles Koch or his brother David Koch, or Sheldon Adelson, et al and et cetera, there are spit rotisserie poultry remains for quacksalver sharks.
