Drunken Government

 ... is what we've had for some time now. A government drunk on printed money.

About 6 years ago, I penned this one: Life's Pricing Structure Is Broken. In all immodesty, it's one of my favorites. Here's a snippet apropos of today's post.

What does it do to an individual when they discover that they can print money to spend, year after year?

What kind of car would you buy if you could print money? Me, I'd buy a Lotus. You might buy a Ferrari. Why don't you do it now? I don't have a Lotus because it would take me a year to earn it. The Lotus would represent a year of my life. If I could print money in the Catican, the Lotus would represent ... nothing.

Our pricing structure is broken. We no longer connect sacrifice with possessions.

Now check out just two of the things DOGE as uncovered from USAID.

I could conceivably understand sending money to Somalia to assist in building roads and digging wells, but sending money to Canadian universities and British Broadcasting is profligacy for its own sake. Money had no value, so it was sprayed all over the place, directed by malignant idealogues without oversight.

The list goes on and on and on and this is just USAID. Wait until they get to the Department of Education or Health and Human Services. Those will be eye-watering. I have no idea who was shelling out the coin for the illegals, but I do know that Catholic NGOs raked in nearly $3B over the last 4 years, flipping all of us the bird and assisting in the invasion of our country. Lutheran NGOs weren't far behind.

And yes, that's 3 billion with a "B."

Money had no meaning, so a culture of wild spending grew like kudzu until we found ourselves sending $2,000,000 for sex change operations in Guatemala.
