Jamie Stiehm in dailyherald: It's April in Washington, a time of uncertanty and poetic reflection.
April's fresh light falls on us all, bringing bracing breezes that make the world shake out anew.
Led by new Speaker Kevin McCarthy, a California Republican, caught up in power struggles, the House Republicans appear ready to let the United States default on the nation's debt. All Congress has to do is follow custom and raise the debt ceiling cleanly, with no conditions. The matter has nothing to do with credit cards, as McCarthy says.But a key reason why the debt ceiling needs lifting is because of Republicans' $2 trillion tax cut, which benefited businesses and the wealthy.
You may wonder why T.S. Eliot wrote,"April is the cruelest month" in"The Wasteland," a masterpiece of modern civilization crumbling. Written in the wake of the deadly First World War, when Eliot lived in London, the poem speaks of collective loss and memory. Those were the cruelest Aprils as Americans wept and mourned these beloved leaders. The young Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was tragically slain the fourth of April 1968. More grief and a river of tears.Yet upbeat Biden seems to think April brings the luck of the Irish to his campaigns. Not a Lincoln or a Roosevelt, just Joe, he announced his run for reelection just as he did four Aprils ago.
