POST 356 SPRING FEVER

Hi,

IN CASE YOU HAD NOT NOTICED, IT'S SPRING WHEN A YOUNG MAN'S FANCY ETC.!!!! THE WINDOW GARDEN VIEW CHANGES IN THE NORTH WHILE THE SOUTH  ONLY GETS A HINT  OF FRESH BREEZES, THEN A SLAM OF HEAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS BLOGGER MENTIONS IT BECAUSE POLITICAL PATTERNS SEEM TO CATCH SPRING FEVER EVERY YEAR AND THERE IS A LULL AND A WAVE OF COOL, FRESH
AIR THAT DOESN'T ALWAYS BODE WELL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SINCE WE ARE SEEING THE NOW NOTORIOUS SILLY DANCE OF THE FIRST 100 DAYS ENDING, THIS BLOGGER SUPPOSES WE CAN CONCENTRATE ON THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE REST OF TRUMP'S TENURE IN OFFICE. ALTHOUGH THE PRESS WILL HAVE TO DISCUSS THE FIRST 100 INTERMINABLY !!!!!!!!!!!

SPRING IS A VERY FEY TIME AND CAN LEAD TO BIG CHANGES OVER THE WORLD AND IN THIS COUNTRY. OR JUST PEACE AND QUIET !!!!!!!!!!! THE LATTER IS PREFERABLE !!!!!!!!!!!!

IT'S ALSO THE TIME FOR HEALTH ISSUES AS IF THE BODY IS PREPARING FOR HARD TIMES AND HAS TO GO INTO FITNESS TRAINING. THE NICE WEATHER ENCOURAGES WALKING, RUNNING, JUMPING AND ENTHUSIASM FOR ALL THAT'S GOOD AND HEALTHY. UNFORTUNATELY, THERE ARE ALSO LOTS OF FALSE STARTS.

 THIS BLOGGER SEES THE EFFECT IN POLITICS AS THE HEALTH CARE BILL WAVERS, THE NEW TAX BILL STRUGGLES, THE GOVERNMENT JUST AVOIDS SHUTTING DOWN AND POLITICIANS MEET TO DISCUSS THE CURES FOR SPRING FEVER !!!!!!!!!!!!

LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE IN WASHINGTON THE POLITICIANS FIGURE THEY CAN THIS YEAR CURE SPRING FEVER WITH MEETINGS, TALKS, MONEY PROGRAMS AND BATTLES WITH EACH OTHER. BY THE TIME THEY RECOGNISE THE TRUTH, SPRING IS OVER, THE LONG, HOT SUMMER SETS IN AND THE SOLUTION IS PUT ASIDE FOR ANOTHER YEAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  TOO BAD ALL OF THE WORLD'S AND AMERICA'S PROBLEMS CAN NOT BE SOLVED THAT WAY.

IT MAKES SPRING A RATHER MAGICAL SEASON OF RENEWAL NOT JUST FOR NATURE BUT PEOPLE AS WELL. BELIEVE IT OR NOT WE ARE STILL A RATHER OPTIMISTIC GROUP WHO CHOSE NOT TO BLOW THE WORLD OR PARTS OF IT UP AS A FIRST CHOICE  THIS BLOGGER IS ALWAYS AMUSED THAT FRANCE THE PARADIGM OF LOVE AND ROMANCE HAS ITS PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IN SPRING. A SPRING EXCHANGE OF PASSIONS BETWEEN THOSE IN AND OUT OF POWER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS YEAR'S FINAL CANDIDATES ARE A REAL FRENCH FRIED CHOICE WITH MARINE
Le PEN,  FROM THE FAR-RIGHT  NATIONAL FRONT SOCIALIST PARTY AND EMMANUEL MACRON,  SOCIALIST AND FORMER ECONOMY MINISTER.

"LePEN WANTS TO LEAVE THE EURO AND PROTECT FRENCH JOBS. SHE STANDS FOR FRANCE FIRST AND HAS PROPOSED CHANGING TO A "NOUVEAU FRANC" OF LOWER VALUE TO ENCOURAGE FRENCH EXPORTS TO BE MORE COMPETITIVE ALTHOUGH THE CONVERTED EXISTING NATIONAL DEBT COULD BE DEEMED A DEFAULT.  SHE FAVORS TAX CUTS FOR THE POOREST AND FRANCE FIRST.

MACRON SUPPORTS FREE TRADE  AND IS IN FAVOR OF CETA (FREE TRADE WITH CANADA.) HE WANTS OPEN BORDERS AND MORE EUROPEAN INTEGRATION. HE WANTS TO CUT CORPORATE TAXES, HOUSING TAXES FOR THE MAJORITY, AND REFORM FOR THE CURRENT WEALTH TAX..

/THIS BLOGGGER SEES  IT AS A BATTLE BETWEEN FREE TRADE OR FRANCE FIRST AND AS A BIG PROBLEM FOR EUROPE SO PASSION RUNS HIGH IN THE SPRING AIR AND FRANCE FINDS ITS ROMANTIC OUTLET OVERSHADOWED IN THE TWILIGHT BY THE DIN OF POLITCAL STRIFE. THE ELECTION PROCESS IS COMPLICATED BUT SHOULD FIND ITS WAY SOON. TRUST FRANCE TO TURN THE SPRING FEVER UP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS BLOGGER TURNS A DREAMY EYE TO THE END OF 100 DAY HYSTERIA AND THE BEGINNING OF ACCEPTANCE OF REALITY. EVEN SPRING HAS TO END SOMETIME SO WE CAN ALL GET SOME SUNSHINE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CHEERS, CONNIE
