Just a Coincidence ?

In the last few days two amazing things happened … Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act and the residence of former President, Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago, was raided by the FBI. Although one could speculate that this was merely a coincidence, I would suggest that coincidences are mostly things which happen in fictional novels when the author is searching for a way out of a dilemma that he has created for himself. Should a betting person suspect that “coincidences”  in government are usually not coincidental? The answer should be ‘yes,’ as in “Is the Pope a Catholic?” (Notice that I did not say, “Is Joe Biden a Catholic?” … as the answer that question would be “Perhaps a squishy one!”)

Be that as it may I do not think that these two things were merely coincidental. To start, the raid on Mår-a-Lago was obviously politically motivated. In the following few days more and more will come out that will verify that. Whether “documents” were found or not in this FBI raid is actually irrelevant, as the DOJ has obviously been politicized. (Supposedly the Clintons took $28,000 worth of furniture from the White House when they left … were they raided or even questioned about that? Err … “No!”)

That gets me to the Inflation Reduction Act which many say will not actually reduce inflation. However, it is a convincing name for something which serves as a cover for hiring 87,000 additional IRS agents. What does one think that this humongous increase in the size of the IRS will do? 

Ben Cardin, a Democratic Senator from Maryland said the following when asked that question on Fox News Sunday:

“Millions of Americans aren’t going to be impacted by that other than getting better service from the IRS, having their telephone answered, getting the questions they need in order to comply with our tax laws.”

To me the amazing thing is not that Senator Cardin spouted that line of BS, but that he may actually believe it! OMG!

It doesn’t take a fictional writer to predict that certain individuals and certain groups will be targeted by a significant portion of these new IRS agents … just as President Trump was targeted again. The main difference is that we are talking about two different government agencies, coincidentally both with three letters … the DOJ & the IRS!
