(M)an: Dude! Representative Paul Ryan’s 2015 House Budget The Path to Posterity is obscene, as are
the Congressional Republicans who have ceded their decision-making capabilities
to John Roberts’ SCOTUS but insistently deny this truth by telling lies about
an intelligence that just hasn’t been present since President George W. Bush’s
two-term assault on democracy and international diplomacy in the new millennium.
(D)ude: Man! What about President Obama and his
administration? How can we remain certain the ethics and the integrity continue
that President Obama painstakingly brought to American government and the
presidency? With such vicious hullabaloos such as the Republican Tea GOP’s
Senators and Representatives in the United States Congress, vapid characters
including Lindsey Graham, John McCain, Mitch McConnell, and John Boehner, Paul
Ryan, and Eric Cantor, why isn’t the
citizenry of the United States making strides to get themselves and
their brethren to the voting booths during the primaries taking place across
the country right now, May 2014, and the midterm election scheduled for
Tuesday. November 4, 2014?
M: Dude! The 2015 Republican Budget that Paul Ryan
confidently purports, is filled with provisions intended to placate and indulge
the pocketbooks and bank accounts of the superrich by making such outright costly
miscalculations that will cost the middle and working classers and the poor, as
stated in the following atrocities from page 38 of The Path to Prosperity,
The federal
government’s commerce and housing activities should focus their efforts to
bolster free enterprise, economic growth, and upward mobility. Such an approach
would have the additional direct benefit of reducing government spending,
easing the demand for higher taxes or more borrowing, and curbing corporate
welfare in the housing, financial-services, and telecommunications industries.
This budget calls for an end to the cycle of future bailouts perpetuated by the
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, as well as putting a
stop to taxpayer subsidies and bailouts for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
D: Man! What about the greed to privatize in an
anti-government model that will only collapse on itself? Listen to the following
insulting attempt at validating privatizing and dissolving the American promise
of an American Dream for every citizen through eliminating the federal
government’s additional triumphs under the Obama Administration, also from page
39 of The Path to Prosperity,
Subsidies to
businesses distort the economy, impose unfair burdens on taxpayers, and are
especially problematic given the fiscal problems facing the U.S. government.
With potential savings of roughly $7 billion over ten years, programs that
should be considered for elimination include the following:
-The Hollings Manufacturing
Extension Program, which subsidizes a network of nonprofit extension centers
that provide technical, financial, and marketing services for small and
medium-size businesses that are largely available in the private market. The
program already obtains two-thirds of its funding from non-federal sources and
was originally intended to be self-supporting.
-Trade Promotion
Activities at the International Trade Administration [ITA]. This agency, within
the Department of Commerce, provides trade-promotion services for U.S.
companies. The fees it charges for these services do not cover the cost of
these activities. Businesses can obtain similar services from state and local
governments and the private market. The ITA should be eliminated or charge for
the full cost of these services.
M: Dude! The ITA
should be eliminated or charge for the full cost of these services? Should
the sentence be revised with charged instead of charge?
D: Man! People in the United States and abroad sincerely
think that the Ryan Budget for 2015 is the same as the Bipartisan Budget Act of
2013 that was signed into law by President Obama on December 26, 2013, the day
after Christmas, remember?
M: Dude! Wait, wait, wait a minute. There are three
documents circulating around Washington, DC concerning the United States of
America’s spending habits and budgetary practices, and then there’s the onerous
caveman mentality being propagated about the tragedy in Benghazi, Libya having
been intentional on the part of then-Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton,
hence leading to Speaker John Boehner and Representative Darrell Issa and all
the Republican hullabaloos mentioned earlier to promulgate sensationalist and
disrespectful ballyhoo in order to avoid having to bring to the floor of
Congress anything relating to the fiscal calamitous chaos imparted in the 2015
Ryan Budget?
D: Man! There are three budgets circulating Washington right
now and all are available online: The Bipartisan
Budget Act of 2013 that Democratic Senator Patty Murray negotiated with
Republican Representative Paul Ryan; The President’s Budget for Fiscal Year
2015 entitled Opportunity for All: The
President’s Fiscal Year 2015 Budget, available at the Office of Management
and Budget’s White House website; and, of course, Paul Ryan’s doltish tantrums
entitled The Path to Prosperity: Fiscal
Year 2015 Budget Resolution and its reflux The Path to Prosperity: A Responsible, Balanced Budget (Fiscal Year
2014 Budget).
M: Dude! The most recent of Paul Ryan’s Cleon-like proposals
is just as shoddy as the first and second and third renditions.
D: Man! Colonics? Did you print out any of Ryan’s crap? Lindsey
Graham and John McCain can use it as bath tissue. Although, I seriously wonder
about John McCain’s abbreviated arms with respect to the commodious and other
activities of daily living. Don’t you?
M: Dude! Cleon!
D: Man! Clean on? Right on!
M: Dude! Cleon! And stop being so cruel to John McCain!
Abbreviated arms? Huh? What are you thinking?
D: Man! Paul Ryan’s got me saying some strange stuff lately!
You try reading four renditions of a grammatically compromised composition!
M: Dude! I’m sorry. I do apologize. However, did you know
there were the First Peloponnesian War and, later, Second Peloponnesian War as
well?
D: Man! Like World War II and I?
M: Dude! Yeah! And all four wars had demagogues who knew
about democracy’s Achilles heel, that the people are powerful but these very
same crooked political leaders played on the people’s prejudices and attained
political ground as a result, targeting populations within the lower classes
purposefully. And like the current Republican Party, demagogues repudiate diplomacy
and negotiations, favoring violence instead to accomplish their indignant goals,
while making accusations about how their opponents are weak and scandalous,
like President Obama and his Administration and the Democratic Party membership
under Nancy Pelosi in the House and Harry Reid in the Senate. Look at how the
Republican Party scurrilously operates the American Press to sing its praises
while itself operating in stealth and corruption that will only take US into a horribly
executed death spiral.
D: Man! Tell me the four demagogues’ names.
M: Dude! Alcibiades from the First Peloponnesian War rallied
Athenians to take over Sicily with force and no thought towards the possibilities
of a peaceful resolution.
D: Man! Reminds me of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie’s comment
following Condoleezza Rice’s recent Facebook announcement about her decision to
decline from giving the commencement address at Rutgers University in New
Jersey after Iraq War protests by students and faculty that also included a
sit-in outside of the university president’s office last week. Governor
Christie reacted on Twitter,
As usual a class act
by a great public servant.
M: Dude! Which leads me to Cleon right before the Second
Peloponnesian War who convinced the Athenians to butcher the Mytileneans and
every man in Mytilene regardless of creed, and sell the women and children into
slavery.
D: Man! What about World War II and I? Adolf Hitler’s
expansionist plans for Germany rested on blaming Jews for that country’s
economic woes and keeping tight control on the national press. But that was
World War II, which brings us to World War I that was known as the European War
in the beginning but engulfed the entire globe pretty much just as a lit
matchstick can bring down an entire ecosystem.
M: Dude! According to Wikipedia, four imperial empires
crumbled into oblivion and those
were the German, Russian, Austro-Hungarian, and the Ottoman, the latter two
annihilated and the first two stripped of land significantly to warrant the
eventual descend of a disgruntled and humiliated Germany into fascism and the horrors
of World War II.
D: Man! Even more reason for US citizens to vote out the
barbaric Republican Party and restore the
Democratic Party’s stronghold in the
United States Congress!
M: Dude! Tuesday, November 4, 2014 is a historic civil
rights moment that we have to take seriously if we want to restore peace and
integrity around the world, not succumb to a subpar school report like Congressman
Paul Ryan’s 2015 budget proposal The Path
to Prostration. It’s not enough for the students of Boston College’s Class
of 2006 to recall how they and their professors physically turned their backs
to Condoleezza Rice during the commencement address at their graduation,
holding up signs protesting the Iraq War. They have to motivate and mobilize
the electorate to vote this November 4th!
D: Man! We all have to get out and vote on Election Day
Tuesday, November 4, 2014! Every one of US is responsible for world peace through
diplomatic, nonviolent means and outcomes, and turning up to vote for the
Democratic Ticket is the first step in the sound, sensible direction.
