   Leave it to Maxine!

   Leave it to Maxine to come up with a solution for the economic mess that the U.S.A. is in now!

   

   I bought a bird feeder. I hung  it on my back porch and filled  it with seed. What a beauty of  a bird feeder it was, as I filled it lovingly with seed. Within a  week we had hundreds of birds  taking advantage of the  continuous flow of free and  easily accessible food.

   But then the birds started  building nests in the boards  of the patio, above the table,  and next to the barbecue.
   
   Then came the poop. It was  everywhere: on the patio tile,  the chairs, the table.  everywhere!

   Then some of the birds  turned mean. They would  dive bomb me and try to  peck me even though I had  fed them out of my own  pocket.

   And others birds were  boisterous and loud. They  sat on the feeder and  squawked and screamed at
   all hours of the day and night  and demanded that I fill it  when it got low on food.

   After a while, I couldn’t even  sit on my own back porch  anymore.  So I took down the  bird feeder and in three days  the birds were gone. I cleaned up their mess and took down  the many nests they had built  all over the patio.

   Soon, the back yard was like  it used to be….quiet, serene….  and no one demanding their  rights to a free meal.

   Now let’s see.
   Our government gives out  free food, subsidized housing,  free medical care and free  education, and allows anyone  born here to be an automatic  citizen.

   Then the illegal’s came by the  tens of thousands.  Suddenly  our taxes went up to pay for  free services; small apartments  are housing 5 families; you  have to wait 6 hours to be seen  by an emergency room doctor; your child’s second grade class is  behind other schools because  over half the class doesn’t speak  English.

   Corn Flakes now come in a  bilingual box; I have to  ‘press one ‘ to hear my bank  talk to me in English, and  people waving flags other  than ‘Old Glory’ are  squawking and screaming  in the streets, demanding  more rights and free liberties..

   Just my opinion, but maybe  it’s time for the government  to take down the bird feeder.
   
   If you agree with Maxine and I then do pass this on to all your family, friends and coworkers; if not, continue cleaning up the poop.
