   On 5-29-23, the Washington Post penned an article Opinion | With this debt limit deal, Congress has beclowned itself, and on that date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus: 

It looks like everything that resulted from this Republican political theater called debt reduction are measures that would best be discussed and resolved at the time of annual Congressional budget hearings.

Pause and recall how the Republicans never come up with a workable budget proposal when required. Recall also that when the Republicans owned both legislative houses and the executive branch, little was ever proposed or done about debt reduction. Just like their false promise to tackle the infrastructure problems.

Pause and realize folks that an element of elected Republicans seem intent on creating this theater of chaos to appear like they're working to protect government when their motive really is working to project their image. One that is falsely projected as competence.

And now at a time our internal problems center on infrastructure, mental illness treatments, education and public safety, they want to increase spending for our war footing? For what, so they can again complain because other allied countries are not spending enough on theirs?
