As an accountant I used to accompany clients who were being audited by our friends at the IRS. One day I was with a farmer who had purchased a "Bush Hog", basically a rotary mowing deck on steroids. The auditor, with a very innocent and sincere face asked "What do feed your Bush Hog? At this point the farmer and I knew we had won the audit.


Isn't it amazing how little city slickers know about what goes on in the rest of the country.

We never have to worry as we have over a million cattle guards
in the west alone, so why more money on the border issue as
cattle guards are low maintenance and require no training or
salaries.

Why would a city dweller need to know about cattle guards or bush hogs or balers or any other farm stuff? The country people don't need to know what the subway schedule is. People know what they need to know. That isn't a bad thing even though some people try to make it seem so.

Do you really think I did not know what you where referring to.
But I will be serious for a change and say I would never live where I needed to use a subway to get around.
That is ok for others but not for me I hate the big city.

Perhaps he gave the speech again because the GOP Congress is destroying the infrastructure of this country.

Every Congress since probably the first one agreed to maintain and improve the infrastructure of the nation.

Why not this one?

His blunders are things about his CAMPAIGN speech a few days ago about hiring people to "fix bridges, infrastructure" . In typical Orwellian fashion, it is the same speech he said 5,4 years ago when he dumped how many billion to do the very same thing- where did that money go? Didn't fix any of the bridges it was supposed to.

Baaaa Baaaa is all you hear... hear how nice he says it! ...Sheeple

For those of you who have never traveled to the west, or southwest, cattle guards
are horizontal steel rails placed at fence openings, in dug-out places in the roads adjacent to
highways (sometimes across highways), to prevent cattle from crossing over that area. For
some reason the cattle will not step on the ‘guards', probably because they fear getting their feet
caught between the rails. (People in the south also know what cattle guards are.)
>

>A few months ago, President Obama received and was reading a report that there were over 100,000
cattle guards in Colorado . The Colorado ranchers had protested his proposed changes in grazing
policies, so he ordered the Secretary of the Interior to fire half of the cattle guards immediately!
>
Before the Secretary of the Interior could respond and presumably try to straighten President Obama out on
the matter, Vice-President Joe Biden intervened with a request that...before any cattle guards were fired, they be
given six months of retraining for Arizona border guards. “Times are hard", said Joe Biden, "it's only
fair to the cattle guards and their families!"

And these two guys are running our country, OMG!

Passed on to you without further comment...

And they called George W. Bush stupid!!!!

This may come as a shock to you, but most people who grew up in urban areas do not know what cattle guards are.

Also, you may want to check out this bit of info:

Laugh if you will. I grew up on western Kansas, and those things were all over the place. However, taking our travel trailer from California back to Colorado to visit wife's relatives, we overnighted in Lovelock Nevada. As we set up the trailer, connected up the water, plugged in the power, I heard a "Bloop Bloop" noise.

Sounded like it was coming from the back of the trailer, where the water pump was. Check it out, nope, not the water pump. Heard it again. "Bloop Bloop".

Looked around the RV park, quite a few people looking around, behind, underneath their rigs. Finally gave, had a drink, dinner, and went to bed. All night long. "Bloop Bloop".

Next morning, hooked up the rig, made our coffee, got in the pick up, turned right out of the RV park onto the access road to the highway. "Bloop Bloop" as we went across the cattle guard.

My wife and I looked at each other, and howled with laughter.

Wake up ole sarge. What else is on those bills that the congress is turning down? Put no pork on the bill and see what happens. And what about the funding? is oubummer going to give up his give away planes to fund those programes. Get your head out of the sand and see how the goverment works. Or should I say dosent work. I ask you again how can you run a busness or a goverment spending more than you take in??

Ole sarg you only see whats wrong with one side. Start looking at both sides and get the whole picture. They are both rotton through and through. They both lie to the american people, they both take bribes from thr lobbyest. Both sides have very low morles.We need somebody in there that our youth can look up to and not people that the young can say its ok for them to lie and act the way they do so I guess its ok. Just one indisgerstion and they should be OUT. Look the way they worship Bill (I didnt have sex with that girl) Clinton. Or Weener Or any other low life on both sides. They are not very good roll modles for our young people. Its bad enough that the TV and the films of today have lowerd the standerds of this country. Im 83 and have seen a lot in my day but never as bad as it is today. You just cant keep supporting the way our goverment it spending more than they take in. Is there no more common sence left on eather side. Blame them all you want. they deserve it but blame both sides.
