I am SO DONE part 2
This morning I woke to find out that the government might shut down due to the debt ceiling needing to be lifted. What is it with the federal government? We found out the hard way what a shut-down really means back when Trump was president. I had assumed, wrongly, and naively, that this infrastructure plan was to be paid for by raised taxes on the super wealthy and corporations. I guess I was wrong since so far, no taxes have been raised.
And so to get back to my point made in yesterday’s article, this was just another way for me to get my blood pressure up and to raise my cortisol levels. What in hell can you or I do about this? The answer to this is NOTHING. I wonder sometimes if it isn’t all theatrics, geared to take our mind off what’s important. Because if dems didn’t see this coming, they are all fools. And what better way to get nothing done than to blame it all on partisan politics? I’m sure I’m missing a zillion little details on how things work in Washington, but as I said yesterday and again today, I am so done with this. Are they all in cahoots? I mean seriously, Manchin is making money from the fossil fuel industry so he’s against all climate change innovations…Sinema is beyond my understanding, except she wants to get her name in the headlines?
And so I walked in the woods and thought about things. Why do I feel the need to get worked up every day? What am I…
