Postcards from the Clown Show

[Occam's Banana]

Quiet frankly, I am still a bit confused by the reaction to this. Even Rand Paul and Daniel McAdams on The Liberty Report are repeating the idea that a gas tax holiday is “bad” because it is not offset by spending reductions. We are all supporters of tax reductions, but since when does “balanced budgets” trump tax cuts?

We would all love to see a balanced budget and reduced spending, but reality say that will never happen, thus in the meantime, any tax cut is a good one.

My only guess is that it's a chance to criticize Biden coupled with the opportunity to advocate less spending.

I hope that's all it is. I don't have a problem with either of those things, but I'll have no truck with pissing on a tax cut (as opportunistic and temporary as it may be) just for the sake of indulging fantasies about "balancing" the federal budget (LOL).

Earlier today, I encountered a few references to something called "forced life".

Allow me to introduce you to what is apparently a new pro-abortion talking point:

You know better than this. Any "tax cut" without a spending cut isn't a tax cut at all. It's just moving the taxes from one place to another to give politicians a way to say that they did something.

What we're really talking about here is if it's better to shift the tax burden to future debt and inflation and away from people driving the roads today. With the cost of fuel impacting our economy, I think you can make that case, but let's not let them call it a tax cut.

That's only temporary, though. Then comes the tax-by-GPS scheme, adding tracking even to the vehicles of Luddites.

This is only true if you assume that the US will never hit bankruptcy.

But hospitals will still be pretending that you don't have the right to refuse their treatments.

Exactly.

The finances of the US fedgov are a dumpster fire of galactic proportions.

There is debt in the trillions upon trillions that can never be re-paid.

Budgets and thrifty spending are insane jokes.

Anything that denies one single penny to the Marxist maggots in DC is fine by me.

There's that damn white privilege again.

Is there any topic that you can't somehow twist into a racial issue?

Not a problem there, sugar britches.

I'm sure I can go the rest of my life without listening to whatever passes for "music" that blorps out of your foul pie hole.
