ReadabilityObama's Rockin New Year's Eve Party (and New Year's Hangover)
One of the nicest thing about the entire “Fiscal Cliff” business is it focuses us on the change that is coming in the 2nd term for President Obama.
Granted the new congress doesn’t convene until Thursday and the President’s new term is twenty days off but the fiscal cliff deadline has clearly been painted in media as a function of post-election the whole: “Obama won so congress should do X” meme.
I was trying to think of how to best illustrate what is coming in a second Obama Term and the more I think of it New Year’s Eve is absolutely perfect for the job.
Think about it:
New Year’s eve is a day when people tend to party to excess forgetting all their actual problems for one big smash of excess forgetting all their worries and then the next morning, what happens:
You wake up in bed with a bad choice beside you
Or In a cell if lucky with a big bill if lucky or a bad accident if not
or in a best case scenario you start the year with a splitting headache
with the huge credit card bills of December in the mailbox
and your federal tax forms in the mail.
This is America under Obama all over, a bender of spending that felt good, a bunch of big bills coming up, and a bunch of bad choices where the lady chooses the flashy guy, vs the steady one.
And we wake up to the 2nd term and suddenly here come the bills, the taxes, the Obamacare (with its taxes and rules), the companies finding it easier to drop hours and coverage than give you insurance, New regulations on the and the layoffs that will come from them and an Arab world with Islamists on the rise.
All of this is coming in the 2nd term, all of this we’ve done to ourselves.
Enjoy New Years Eve because the with the New Year comes the government we deserve, and that’s going to be the most painful part of it.
Update: I’m still $370 away from avoiding a personal 2012 defect. It’s too late for voters to stop the nation’s fiscal cliff but you can help me avoid mine.
