Maybe it's because there are so many and pulling individual thoughts is too complicated. It's that, or my thoughts have been too dark for the last few weeks. Constantly revealing dark thoughts defeats creativity, unless the goal is a foreboding tale of despair, with defeat.
Anyway, eventually the drought of creativity will end. Hopefully soon.
In Case You've Wondered
My blog is where my wandering thoughts are interspersed with stuff I made up. So, if while reading you find yourself confused about the context, don't feel alone. I get confused, too.
If you're here for the stories, I started another blog: scratchingforchange.blogspot.com
One other thing: sometimes I write words you refuse to use in front of children, or polite company, unless you have a flat tire, or hit your thumb with a hammer.
I don't use them to offend; I use them to embellish.

Quick Math
The cost of doing business includes the cost of taxes. Increased costs, from whatever source, are passed on to consumers. Higher taxes? Higher prices to anyone that buys anything.
So, when taxes go up in January, anything bought will increase in price. Individuals - even those that pay no taxes - will have less money in their pockets, due to higher costs. Political entities will have more money to waste and too damned many people will continue to exist without realizing they're greasing the wheels of an economy that's rolling downhill at an alarming rate.
It's easy math, and I'm sure it's too far above the head of many teachers, or they're unwilling to stop embracing the political agenda that eventually ends the need of their services. Either way, the final outcome is the same.
Maybe I'm off in left field, but since I can't spend my way out of debt, how in the world can anyone be so dumb to think the cumbersome, inefficient government can do so with success?

When You Really Think About It....
...it's getting more appalling every day. Considering how screwed up most things have become, the Zombie Apocalypse is looking more and more like a vacation.

After Almost Four Decades of Work...
...I'm getting much less tolerant of egotistical people - without a clue - that think they're experts at doing things because they've watched them being done. These type of people need lessons in humility.

$1.4 Billion
A new book details the extravagant and wasteful spending of the Obama White House and includes the above figure as how much it cost the taxpayers last year to fund this obvious lack of concern for those that pay the tab.
Food stamp use has increased dramatically; the loss of value of the dollar due to the borrowing of money and inflation is in the double digits; actual unemployment is still in the double digits; long term employment is being eliminated due to Obamacare; and the taxpayer is left with the thought of how $1.4 billion was spent on a President that supposedly is a champion for those that work.
I don't know about you, but I'm insulted. Besides the insult, I'm angry at the media for ignoring this fact, amazed at the blissful ignorance of too many U.S. citizens and wonder how in the hell anyone could have voted for someone that figuratively pisses on them daily.
Time will tell how this plays out, but anyone with the tiniest bit of sense will understand how this arrogance carries over into policy and the common taxpayer is considered a serf to the man that wants to be king. If you aren't mad, you're probably a dumbass.
