Craptasm Complete And Armageddon Avoided-Except For The Stock Market

Whew! Thank goodness that the senate passed the hike in the debt-ceiling today.
By a vote of 74-26, the senate passed the bill that is supposed to bring about daisies and roses and the economy roaring back.
Oh, too bad that the stock market, the rating companies and it appears the American people are not buying any of it.
I do not want to beat this dead horse. But, this is simply a continuation of the bad economy that has plagued the United States now since 2008.
I know that some economists still insist that the economy is better now than say six months ago.
Epic, epic fail.
Unemployment is still over nine percent. The recent contentious vote was to raise a debt ceiling so that we can keep begging the Red Chinese to prop us up by buying our bonds. Inflation is on the rise. Go to a market and tell me that prices are not up. Not to mention gas. Government is on the march to contract the private economy.
That is why the recent exercise between congress and the White House was nothing but a craptasm (yes, a crappy orgasm but in no way sexual!). Makes everyone feel like they took a dirty shower before any of the nasty took place.
We all need to take a little break, regroup and start to make some serious efforts to get the economy going beyond anemia.
Hopefully, the stock market, the rating companies and the American people will show some ability to think about what happens next.
Meantime, enjoy the rest of the summer. Washington saved the day (insert laugh track here!).

More Crapstasm-We Are Halfway From Preventing Economic Armaggedon

Yeah, I feel like this is a craptasm.
Sure, we are now halfway to preventing supposed economic Armageddon. The House of Representatives in rather divided fashion passed the crap sandwich that was worked out between the political leadership.
The vote was 269-161. Yet read between the lines and it looks like the Democrats were much more divided than the Republicans. But the reality is that is what happens when one produces something no one really likes.
What really is irritating is that this was a bad way to raise the debt ceiling and try to produce any kind of meaningful budget and yes, tax reform.
But it is where we are at.
The end result is that we as conservatives and Republicans need to be even more motivated to win more seats in both houses of congress. Yes, we need to increase the numbers in the House. And we need to take the senate as well. There are a lot more Democrat seats up next year as opposed to last year. And most important of all is we need to get a great candidate that can win the Republican nomination for president and become the next president.
We can not keep complaining or replaying the 2010 midterm elections. We can not think we will get much better than what has happened in this vote until we win more seats and the White House.
In the meantime, enjoy the craptasm that is the convoluted compromise.
