More and more, with each passing day and new unbelievable story, I visualize this current Congress and federal administration in a wagon, no driver, no horses pulling it, just hurtling down a mountainside, headed straight toward a cliff with a long long drop-off. They’re just yakking away, no one is paying any attention to what’s up ahead, yakking and yukking it up, throwing money over the sides as they go.
The problem with that image is that they’re taking all the rest of us over that cliff too. We’re all following behind in our own wagons, inextricably chained to the leading wagon, digging in our heels, trying in vain to get their attention, desperately trying to stop and/or turn from the disastrous course.
What brings this to mind today is a story from James, at Reaganite Republican, on how our Congress, under San Fran Nan’s leadership, has simply “deemed passed” a 2011 budget. No real money involved. Just letters forming meaningless words on pieces of paper.
Go here for the ‘would-be-funny-if-it-weren’t-true’ account.

I truly believe that this bunch wants this country to fail. Economically that is. That way they will be in power over everything. That’s what I believe. Scary.
Comedy Plus, I think you are spot on. That is the Alinsky model.
Pup, great post…and I especially love the sign at the top…it’s perfect. Wherever did you find that picture?
I heard a funny one yesterday…that we need to “redistribute” the wealth from Washington, D.C. to the people by getting rid of the clowns in power.
Let me also add, that the economical failure plan was conceived by two professors in the 60′s by the name of Cloward and Piven. The strategy of economically overwhelming the current system is what is in play here.
I too think they are using the Cloward-Piven strategy, and agree with both of you. What better way to make a sustainable majority of citizens dependent on government, and thereby ensuring their votes for your party than to make them dependent upon you for their needs. I do think this is what they are trying to do.
