So. Now the plan is to spend 20 billion dollars to build a livable structure on the moon and send astronauts there every six months. To what end? In the meantime, insurance subsidies have been pulled, housing is in short supply and outrageously expensive. We are spending billions on an unauthorized war we started, with the help of Israel, eying Cuba as the next place to show our superiority and turning longtime allies into foes. The cost of living has become unlivable, for many, truly. Yet, fly me to the moon. Yep. That's a solid plan. Hey, are we great yet? Cause I think if we were mediocre before I'd rather that.
yep.....
ReplyDeleteAsinine, Lori.
DeleteWell said. It enrages ne that we have squandered so much money on such stupid, unnecessary things that are only ego builders for the few at the top.
ReplyDeleteIsn't this supposed to be the party of fiscal responsibility, Sue?
DeleteWell, so they say! But they are very wide of the market. Remember that balanced budget back in 1996? Those were the days
DeleteI enjoyed your comment on my post today.
ReplyDeleteHumorous and true, AC.
DeleteAll of it makes my head hurt.
ReplyDeleteIt's difficult to see the end of this, Miss Merry.
DeleteHope you find something to do to let the stress of this go. I know it's not easy for sure and things are NUTS. But I am concerned for your stress levels and what it will do to you. Hang in there.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry I am causing you concern, Ivy. I'm as ok as one can be right now. I am an intense person and political. My education is in European History and Political Science. I need to be connected and sometimes that includes having something to say on my blog. Yes, sometimes I feel overwhelmed, but we are in overwhelming times. It's kind of you to care enough to mention it. I do appreciate that.
DeleteI am glad you are okay. I can understand where you're coming from and having a blog does help. It's a great thing. Glad we can be here for you when you feel overwhelmed. Sending good vibes and homemade bagels.
DeletePS: Made noodles again last night. Been a bit since I had. Soooo good. You making any? I like to make the dough and store it well in the fridge for the night we eat it. Then roll it out. Went with long thicker/thinner noodles last night.
I made pappardelle last week. That's an easy one. I don't think I up to the small pasta you make, Ivy!
DeleteThe brutal way the Iranian regime treats dissidents is appalling, but it's good to see Iran standing up to Trump and exposing his utter stupidity in starting a war entirely on impulse.
ReplyDeleteYes, there is no arguing that the Iranian government is brutal. That was never the reason for what we and Israel are doing, nick.
DeleteAdd it to the list of craziness. 😕
ReplyDeleteIt's a long list, Cheerful.
DeleteAbsolutely mind boggling isn’t it? I think that’s the point. They are playing a shell game with us and the rest of the world.
ReplyDeleteA shell game we are losing, Denise. Yet, there seems to be no restraints. I wonder what the founders and those who fought the war that separated us from a king would think about this? They would be appalled.
DeleteIt seems never-ending 😕
ReplyDeleteProbably because it has been, Linda.
DeleteYep my sentiments also. !!!
ReplyDeleteYou are one of the sane, Tommy.
DeleteHe definitely is asset stripping America.
ReplyDeleteGood way of putting it, Dawn.
DeleteThe world is a mess.
ReplyDeleteYes it is, Dora.
DeleteI hadn't heard about putting something on the moon. What a horrible regime this has become. I agree that this gov't is stripping our assets and throwing the people to the proverbial wolves now.
ReplyDeleteWith a grin on their face, Val.
DeleteGood grief!
ReplyDeleteThe plan is to go to Mars, Denise. Why?
