Back in Uncle Helmers time during the last Great Depression, Helmer and a couple of other enterprising young men went out to the Indian reservation in the Dakota's to do some dickering with the Chief of the Indian Nation.
The idea was that the Indians had a pretty fair stretch of fallow land that could stand a few head of grazing cattle.
They had in mind to sell the Indians a big prize winning bull and some fertile calf bearing cows on time payments.
They could get back more money with the interest gained, plus the original cost of the cattle, and a fair profit for their time and ingenuity.That way, earning a profit for themselves, and at the same time, do something real nice for the Indian population as well.
They explained that the bull could service the few cows pasturing there on the reservation and after a gestation period calves would be birthed and the herd would be nearly twice as big! They would have milk for the little ones and an occasional steak barbecue for tribal celebrations.
Of course they warned, it would be hard work at first, especially in winters, but as the years went by the herd would increase. With profits from the sale of some cattle, shelters would emerge, barns could be raised, and homes could be built, and life would be much easier and filled with a sense of independence and pride as it once was.
They went on to caution there would be set backs along the way, but by and by the original investment of time and money would grow to the point where
"his people really would not have to do that much".
The Indian chief shook his head and rejected out of hand my Uncle Helmers proposal immediately with the words, "WE DON'T HAVE TO DO MUCH NOW"
So here we go again!
Pelosi is going to try to piss away another great segment of the United States of America. The Urination of American federated commerce.
THE END!
PS:Meet the Press had Barney Frank on this morning and the best thing he said was; He doesn't think the American people "hold their leaders up to a high enough standard"! Once again I say the citizens of any country that allows for free elections gets the kind of government it deserves.
