A Kid in a Candy Store

How did this man and woman elevate themselves to the highest office in this land? I don't think it was a "rags to riches" story. I think someone, somewhere, orchestrated their rise to the top, and that is frightening, kids let loose in the candy store. 

Is it any wonder that they have flown all over the world, taken lavish vacations, spent millions or billions of taxpayers money, and in reality, have to answer to no one. Are they the first to take advantage of the government coffers. No, but they may have lowered the bar on "taxpayer abuse."

I was in the Navy, never gave any thought to who payed for what I was using or doing, the government was paying for it. Later, a local company received a contract to do some work for a government agency. Most of the work they could not do, so they sent it to us. We would do the work, "Oh, government, double it." In turn, the company that sent it to us, would double or raise their final price, so by the time all was said and done, a greatly inflated price, but, the government was paying for it.

So, the above "kids" are let loose in the "candy store," went from a "bug" to a "limo," and not just a limo, a limo accompanied by one hundred or so assorted body guards and "aides."

No wonder they want another four years. They could never live that lifestyle again. And, in my opinion, they intend to live that lifestyle for many more years, if re-elected, perhaps, even beyond the next four.
