Need a march on economic stupidity

I propose a biblical Joshua-style protest march around the White House. I suggest getting 200 marching bands and have them as Joshua did when he marched around the “walls of Jericho.”

I suggest that these bands march six days and on the seventh, play their trumpets and cymbals and then with one mighty jump all at once and one great shout make the message known that the “walls of fiscal indifference“ must come down.

It only seems appropriate that some sort of statement needs to be made about how indifferent the president is to the plight of the middle-income taxpayers. Personally, he should be making “sacrifices” for his people and maybe going to church more often or at least being a leader of frugality?

It's easy to spend “other people's” money. It's like the White House is an extension of Las Vegas, and the president has an unstoppable gambling addiction. Now Joshua's army brought down the literal walls of Jericho, so what about the political walls of economic stupidity? We may all be in the poor house very, very soon if this president's addiction to spending money is not halted.
