To the editor:
Okay, you all had enough play time, the arcade, trampoline, Candlepin (bowling) for cash, poker, and whatever else is down there for your amusement in the Capitol basement it will close for the next six months, it is time to speak up for the greater good, for all Americans.
There’s no need to rehash all this administration has done to cause turmoil around the globe.
From Senator Ted Cruz, “if we go into a recession, it will be a blood bath”.
As President Obama once said, “We took a shellacking.”
DOGE: I once wrote that you should recommend to the Trump administration that each time he goes away for the weekend, it costs U.S. taxpayers approximately $3.1 million. Something to think about?
When are you going to answer some questions about this non-government entity? Tick Tock. We have all day!
Tariffs: We will always have tariffs; however, if his people look at the rules of the World trade organization (WTO), it stipulates that they are covered by the most favored nation treatment obligation.
It means that, with some exceptions, a member of the WTO should charge the same tariff on a product from imports from all other WTO partners.
Lastly, I’ve figured out why you all remained silent: everyone sticks together and hopes the king gets his way. But ha! We hear things are starting to get a bit unruly among you people. Who is going to be the first to cut off the ball and chain?
If you do not bring yourselves to some form of decency, that really spells it all out, no conscious.
Those of you who want to leave, there is time left on the clock. If not, suggest that you all pack your bags and leave everything in your offices except for the liquor bottles, some have a $.05 deposit return.
You can reserve your seat on the hourly coaches to Mar-a-Lago, sorry, no first class seats, that is why they call coach, bring your own food.
Job openings with be posted at the front gate. Do not worry, based on your qualifications, there are many jobs to choose from. Proof of citizenship is required.
As for a military parade this year in Washington, not a very good idea.
Remember who called veterans, suckers, and losers, don’t like POW’s. Cut thousands of staff members at the Veterans Administration.
Oh, has anyone hit the jackpot on the stock market?
As the old saying goes, buy low, sell high. It is the oldest trick in the book!
