Get Ready for the Government Shutdown!

Are You Ready for the Battle of the Bulge?

Did you know that the U.S. government's spending is skyrocketing faster than a NASA rocket launch? Now, there's talk of a government shutdown, not dissimilar to how we were all locked down during the height of the pandemic.

Imagine this - it's like your neighbor, who just bought a new Ferrari, but can't keep up with the payments. So, he decides to shut down his house and live in his car until he figures things out. Makes sense, right? Not really.

That's where we're at right now. Our government is that neighbor and the debt is that shiny new Ferrari. They're thinking of shutting down until they get a handle on their spending.

But here's the kicker - we've always had more than enough tax revenue to service our debt. It's like having a full fridge, but still ordering takeout every night, then wondering why you're broke.

Our government seems to have forgotten how to stick to a budget. It's like they're on a shopping spree with a credit card they forgot isn't theirs.

Let me drop a bombshell on you: we're funding retirements in Ukraine while our own pension plans are as fragile as glass houses in an earthquake. It's like tipping the waiter generously while your own kids are hungry.

Now, I don't want to be all doom and gloom. Remember the Battle of the Bulge? American soldiers fought tooth and nail, even when totally surrounded. They didn't have the luxury of falling back.

We're in the same boat now. We're surrounded by a sea of debt, but falling back isn’t an option.

But you know what? We'll pull through, just like we always have. We're like a phoenix, rising from the ashes, stronger than before.

So, dig in, my friend. We're in for a ride.

But remember, we're Americans. We're supposed to be surrounded.
