Same Old Same Old in DC

CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY OCTOBER 1, 2021

         CONGRESSIONAL DEMOCRATS, FRUSTRATED BY THEIR INABILITY TO FORCE REPUBLICANS TO GO

ALONG WITH THEIR MASSIVE SPENDING BILLS AND THREATENED BY SO-CALLED PROGRESSIVES WHO

WANT MORE, HAVE PASSED ONE OF THOSE CONTINUING RESOLUTIONS TO KEEP CURRENT SPENDING

GOING UNTIL DECEMBER WHEN IT WILL START AGAIN.

         THIS IS TYPICAL WASHINGTON DYSFUNCTION: CUT NO SPENDING, JUST KEEP SPENDING.

            IN HIS WALL STREET JOURNAL COLUMN, DAN HENNINGER WONDERS “WHETHER THE U.S.

GOVERNMENT IS BECOMING A BLACK HOLE, SIPHONING EVERYTHING NEAR IT INTO A DEADLY INERT MASS.

IT IS IN THE INTEREST OF SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI AND HER FELLOW FORK-CARRIER SENATOR CHUCK

SCHUMER TO NARCOTIZE THE PUBLIC AND PRESS WITH ARCANE PROCESS DETAIL. BUT WHAT WE’RE

WITNESSING IS THE CAPITAL OF A GREAT NATION ON THE VERGE OF COLLAPSING THE COUNTRY INTO A

STATE OF LONG-TERM MISGOVERNANCE.”

            THIS IS ONE OF THE MAJOR POINTS I MAKE IN MY BOOK “AMERICA’S EXPIRATION DATE.” MASSIVE

NATIONAL DEBT HAS BEEN A KEY FACTOR IN THE DECLINE AND COLLAPSE OF NATIONS. WHAT MAKES US

THINK WE ARE IMMUNE FROM A SIMILAR FATE. I HOPE YOU HAVE THE BOOK OR WILL GET IT. IT IS TURNING

OUT TO BE PROPHETIC. I’M CAL THOMAS.
