Fiscal Meltdown: Trump v. McConnell

There are a few things about Trump that I simply don't like, and they are usually related to his background experience or his personal quirks.

Trump, like Howard Hughes, is a germophobe, which led him into the trap of ceding the Constitution's structure of governance to a bunch of MD's who haven't practiced medicine for decades, but who are Very Smart about Stuff.  Frankly, allowing these twits--even if well-meaning twits--to turn the country into a prison camp-with-benefits was a serious mistake.  But that's the germophobe thing.   

Trump doesn't give a flying damn about fiscal responsibility, which probably has to do with his affinity for bankruptcy.  It worked for casinos, why not for sovereign nations, right?  Well, he's testing that theory, first with his tax-cut PLUS big-spend "deal" with the devils in the House, and now with a mind-boggling Big Spend caused by trusting The Experts (above.)

McConnell is making noise about the Big Spend, and he damn well should.  Pelosi wants to dump another Umpty-Bazillion into the States' treasuries, illegal aliens, fraud-by-mail voting, and God only knows what else.

Not often will you read THIS blog and find praise for McConnell, so mark your calendars.  Mitch is right, and Trump better back off.
