Kicking the Can

Kicking The Can Written: by Miracle Man November 19 2021 I’m not reluctant to express my opinion, on consistently kicking the can down the road. I've a mind of my own and not someone’s minion, Nor by strong opposition will I become slowed. By kicking the can down the road things are prolonged, only to need addressing on another day. Many times simple problems can become three pronged, and often it's someone else who is forced to pay. “Progress begins with the belief, that what is necessary is possible.” Norman Cousins

Tom, I hear this term used a lot in Congress. I agree, simple things that could have been address today, only snowballs if it is put off tomorrow. Instead of Congress, "Kicking the can down the road" maybe we ought to "Kick there cans out of office". Nice write. Blessings ~ Debbie

Thanks for your comments Debra. You've got my vote! The only hold up is we need term limits and they're the one's who have to vote on that. So it will never happen. Too much free stuff being passed out to do it at the ballot box. Hope you and yours have a wonderful holiday season and God bless. Tom
