Budget Cuts and Bill's Regrets

Bill’s been seeing a therapist for years trying to get his life on track but all he talks about is his many regrets in a life not wisely lived. His therapist suggests he put his regrets on a boat and let it float away. Bill heads for the pier and loads the boat but it sinks. Too heavy are Bill's regrets. The next day hundreds of trout are floating dead on the surface. Taxpayers argue on shore about the reason the lake has become a floating wake. The Nightly News reports climate change killed the fish and noted experts say the latest budget cuts mean more dead fish to come. The only good news is Bill has a new regret. Donal Mahoney
