Neither American political party cares a whit — about delivering sensible governance

01 October 2025

Grifting, grafting and extortion — all the time?

Regarding the general character of the American Congress and the Executive branch, neither of which cares a whit about the US population and its workers:

The government shutdown that began Wednesday is set to furlough food inspectors, park rangers and millions of other federal workers in Washington and across the nation. Some are only heading to their offices for a few hours to “undertake orderly shutdown activities.”

The federal courts and some government agencies like the IRS have enough money to run with for a short time, burning through their reserves of taxpayer funds until the hourglass drains their cash completely. But others have already shuttered for everyone not deemed “essential” by their agencies.

While Social Security checks, mail, student loan bills and funds for Ukraine will still be delivered, millions of workers are set to suffer financial hardship — at least among those who still have jobs after months of deep staffing cuts and a deferred resignation program.

And then there’s Donald Trump.

The president presided over the nation’s longest government shutdown during his first term and it didn’t turn out to be an obstacle to him returning to the White House.

The moral? — Arguably . . .

. . . a population of easily manipulated sheep gets the government that it deserves.

We put these parasitic posturers into office.

Decades of Oligarchy-controlled wrecking continues in motion.
