GOD WE NEED A FAVOR

Hope I am not infringing on any of Jelly Roll’s copyright laws editing his smash hit “God I Need A Favor”. Young reader alert!!! This blog may push your ” boring button” at first but give it a quick read. Why? Because wheather high school, college, or young professional you will be paying for the 2024′ election year for decades in more ways than taxes and the cost of living. The political horizon today is worst than having wisdom teeth removed, but I do agree our world is imploding both literally and physically. Since Baptists do not bet (haha) I will wager you a pound of Hendrix barbcue on the following. Research the last four presidential and congressional elections to compare the verbage. Does this ring a bell,” I will clean up the swamp in DC, reduce taxes, secure the border, provide health coverage for all, fix the economy and bring world peace”. P.T. Barnum an American showman made the comment, ” There’s a sucker born every minute”. If you buy the verbage in the political promises today maybe old P.T. has hit it out of the park.

How about some boring facts. Congress’ approval rating among U.S. citizens is 13% and falling faster than the national debt is rising, Congress has become an old age nursing home where they live in luxury at the expense of the tax payers, and tougher to remove than a tick off a junkyard dog. For me it boils down to one factor, ideology. No matter how right or how wrong it is very difficult to change a person’s ideology. It’s kind of like the Bible we cherry pick the verses we like and leave a lot of the good stuff to other people. You know the old saying, ” talk to the hand”. One last thought on career politicans, Congress gets an automatic raise every year wheather they want it or not. Research the net worth of an incoming politican and their net worth after serving several terms. Wish my retirement was that lucrative.

A wise man once said,” there are three things you do not ask about, marriage, religion, and politics”. Well, since you asked, 40/50% of marriages fail, churh membership in the last decade is down 50%, and politics maybe the next civil war.

The medical profession has advised me adult beveages with all the medications I take are not recommended. However, with all the current and future political ad’s we will have to bear Alan Jackson’s hit song “It’s Five O’clock Somewhere” is pretty spot on.

Be safe.
