fishing equipment and George Bush, our presidunce

My brother-in-law Glenn and I made a trip today to Bass Pro Shop down in Newport News to pick up a new Cobia and Tarpon rod and reel for myself as well as a few odds and ends for him. I also picked up an assortment of lures for our Florida Keys fishing trip. We leave on March 12th for two glorious weeks in the Florida Keys sunshine. Every year I look forward to this trip more than in the previous years. We know where to catch the big Tarpon if only the wind lays down long enough for us to get to them in our small boat. I would love to be able to get my big boat there, but it is simply to big to tow with my van.
We talked about our presidunce George on the way down to Newport News. There is one thing that Glenn and I agree on for sure and that is that we simply can't understand how anybody that carrys a lunch pail could possibly vote republican. We came from eight years of prosperity in this country with a very small national debt to the biggest debt this country has ever seen! All of this with a republican countrolled house, senate and a republican presidunce. There are no democrats to even blame here. We also decided to invade a country that wasn't doing a damn thing to us simply for oil. Bush, our illustrious presidunce said that we were going to spread democracy to the world. Well then why in the hell didn't we attack North Korea? The simple answer is that North Korea doesn't have any oil and they are a tad scary. Why pick on some one that may be able to fight back.
Oh yeah! Let's talk tax cut while I am on a roll here. Let's compare the guvment to a household. Let's say that the household expenses are $3500. per month. All of a sudden some event happens that jumps your expenses $700 a month more. Do you say to yourself, " The way to solve this problem is to cut back on income!" Isn't that what our presidunce did when he cut taxes?
How about social security? If those taxes( which benefited the high rollers) were reinstated and the money generated was put into social security That problem would be solved also, but know Ol cowboy George, our presidunce, wants to go private investment, and mark my words, reduce benefits to some poor sob who has busted his ass his life for little or nothing!
Well. that's enough bitchin' for today
Ol' Curmudgeon
