Isn’t it just fantastic when history decides to play the same old broken record? The Republicans are once again eyeing tax breaks, border funds, and cuts to clean energy. And as if that wasn’t enough, once a certain someone makes the grand return, who knows what else he has up his sleeve. These are just a few of the potential actors in the soon-to-be Trump show.
Let’s start with the tax breaks. Because nothing screams “economic wisdom” like handing more money to those who are already diving Scrooge McDuck-style into vaults of gold coins. It’s like watching someone feed caviar to a whale while the rest of us are searching the pantry for expired ramen noodles. Brilliant strategy, folks.
Then there’s the obsession with border funds. Now, I get it—we all want to feel safe in our homes. But pouring endless cash into walls and fences? That’s like installing a moat around your house because you saw a squirrel in the yard. Maybe, just maybe, we could invest in addressing the reasons people migrate instead of building monuments to paranoia.
Ah, and let’s not forget the proposed cuts to clean energy. Because who needs a planet when you can have short-term profits? Oxygen is overrated anyway. Let’s crank up the coal plants and see if we can set a new record for smog thickness. Climate change? Never heard of her.
It’s fascinating how some politicians have the uncanny ability to look at a dumpster fire and decide the best course of action is to throw more garbage into it. But hey, what do I know? I’m just someone who enjoys breathing clean air, having a livable climate, and not repeating the same mistakes ad infinitum.
Maybe next they’ll suggest we bring back leaded gasoline and asbestos insulation. Because nothing says progress like resurrecting the greatest hits of bad ideas.
In times like these, you have to wonder if irony has packed its bags and moved to a place where it’s appreciated. We’re left with a script so absurd that even the most imaginative satirist would think twice before publishing it.
So here’s to hoping that common sense makes a comeback before the curtain falls. Until then, I’ll be here, watching this theatrical production of policy decisions that make a carnival look organized.
