In
terms of massive injury and loss of life we dodged Harvey’s and Irma’s one two
punch
But
in terms of financial damage Mother Nature ate our lunch
The
amount of damage and the costs to repair are still adding up
But
it is sure to be close to 400 billion dollars that today will not us bankrupt
But
as Harvey and Irma have finally left our land and shores
There
is another hurricane on the horizon that we cannot afford to ignore
Not
Josie which like Harvey and Irma is of the weather related kind
And
most likely Bermuda will be the only land it will find
No
this hurricane is more deadly and more dangerous and will be almost impossible
to survive
A
financial equivalent much, much stronger than a physical Cat 5
A
20 trillion dollar national debt hurricane with no eye, no respite, no pause
Wiping
out discretionary spending with entitlement growths to shock and awe
No
money for defense, no money to hurricane damage rebuild and recover
All
due to years of our “leaders” the needs of a balanced budget failing to discover
We
will be in less than 10 or 20 years make Greece look like the frugal Swiss
As
we sink further and further into certain bankruptcy abyss
Unlike a physical hurricane coming on land does not its strength diminish
Continues fueled by red ink at growing strength to its end of prosperity finish
Be
you a Bush, Trump or Obama
Peas
in a pod ignoring the red ink increase drama
Hobbled
by Obama’s anemic growth never getting close to two percent
Looking
back at fraud, waste, abuse, duplication as trillions were unwisely spent
The
feds are too large and the trough of federal dollars too big
Corruption
thrives yet few if any of the pigs land in a federal brig
Blues
and Reds both without any fiscal backbone or spine
When
will they realize we as a nation mired in growing debt are running out of time?
