As a veterinarian I am becoming a wealthy, wealthy man so I've decided to upgrade my daily transportation from the Bianchi Volpe I bought used 10 years ago for 400 bucks. I thought about a sweet custom bike or even leasing a Honda, but I settled on a Bentley instead. Because I want to roll in style. It is totally affordable as long as my plan to win the lottery in the next 5 years comes to fruition. My wife divorced me because she thinks I am an idiot with money. Now I'm in a little bit of trouble because I may have overestimated my vast wealth by a smidgeon. I'm having a hard time with the alimony on top of the mortgage and everything else. I haven't even thought about selling the Bentley. I might ask my parents for a loan to cover the car payments.
Does this scenario sound at all like a city with a 5 billion dollar drill stuck in the ground, asking for voters to approve a tax increase so that bus service isn't cut?
Does it sound at all like a country that can't take care of its citizens because its too busy writing blank checks to to companies that turn around and hand it to their CEO, or the military which in turn hands it to civilian contractors?
See you later. I'm the not-so-wealthy veterinarian on the Bianchi. I am happy and damn lucky to have a beautiful family and own a home. But I'm disappointed with some of the decisions of our elected leaders.
