Insanity Makes Another Appearance

Thursday, September 19, 2013
Dear Mr. President:
Well, the level of insanity and ignorance that we are facing has just made a decision that indicates how much deeper it has become. As you know, our benighted brothers have just cut 4 billion dollars out of the Food Stamp Program. Their delusion is that they think of Food Stamps as a huge give away that weakens peoples resolve to work.

I am sure that you have an abundance of experience with the acts of the Stonehearted, so I won't go into the cruelty and suffering that this particular act of the insane would visit on its helpless and innocent victims. Just in terms of the damage it would do to very young children, it would  make mass shootings look like a holiday.

However, I do think it is important for us to understand that this is not cutting 40 billion from the Food Stamp Program. This action would be cutting 40 Billion from the economy. The money that goes into the Food Stamp Program goes practically directly back into the economy. It is spent mostly in grocery stores for food.

Is this fact really that hard to see? It is  not very hard for me to understand that a bloodstream has to circulate blood to be useful. Bloodstreams that develop clots cause massive, usually fatal, heart attacks. Is it really that difficult for us to understand that our economy is our bloodstream?

The real danger to our economy, ergo our citizens, is not the Food Stamp Program. The real culprit is the Trillions of dollars being sucked out of our economy and stashed in the already bloated bank accounts of the wealthy few. This greedy delusion causes the generation of clots that interferes with, and in many cases brings to a dead stop, the free circulation of energy, i.e. money, through our system. This is the generator of the the massive heart attacks we call the loss  of homes, the unemployment of millions and on and on.

The true culprits constitute a  very small group of our population. They, generated--I sometimes think, deliberately--the recent economic collapse, and, according to all reports, are the  only ones who are really recovering. These individuals, by the way, spend more money on a bottle of wine for a lunch than the average Food Stamp recipient receives for a month of food and THINK NOTHING OF IT.

Apologies for the outburst there.

The Food Stamp roles have increased dramatically over the past 4 or 5 years. Guess why. It is not because millions of individuals, who now qualify for food stamps, quit their middle class providing jobs and say "Screw you. I would rather have food stamps because, if the truth be told I am basically lazy and would rather lay back, enjoy my unemployment and get Food Stamps than work."

No. they encountered a gigantic clot, call it by its real name, GREED, in the bloodstream!

I feel pretty confident that sanity, in this case those remaining in the Congress, will stop this, "irrational"  (Irrational is a nice word; however, if anything proposed by these brothers in the last few years is just plain stupid, this is it.), event from occurring.

Understanding and appreciating the forces with which you, on the behalf of the United States of America, indeed, the Planet, have to contend, I, we send you our love and determination to create Change that Matters.
