For a hamburger today !

Our current state of government affairs in terms of the economic philosophy of our wise and wonderful leaders in Washington reminds me of one of the characters in the cartoon ‘Popeye'!

The character ‘Wimpy’ continually repeats his monotone request “I’d gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today” to anyone that will listen.

We are in the process of giving up our economic future, which includes our freedom as well as our liberty, for a ‘hamburger today’ – an unsatisfying and wasteful hamburger at that…and we, just as Wimpy, will not have the ability nor the desire to pay anyone back on Tuesday !
