Going straight
But First, a Little Binge
By Rick Horowitz
"This
piece of legislation must mark an end to the old way of doing business
and the beginning of a new era of responsibility and accountability that
the American people have every right to expect and demand."
President Obama, before signing an "imperfect" $410 billion
spending bill that included more than 8,500 congressional earmarks costing
nearly $8 billion.
"He could have really changed the special-interest, status-quo spending
that we have here in Washington, but instead he really sang off the
sheet of music that Congress gave him."
Steve Ellis, of Taxpayers for Common Sense
And now, ladies and gentlemen, direct from Capitol Hill for your after-dinner
entertainment -- won't you give it up, please, for: Your Congressional
Chorus!
We're
gonna slim down
Tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar
That tomorrow,
We'll be thin!
Just talkin' about
Tomorrow
Peels away the billions
That we borrow --
So we win!
When we're stuck
with a prez
Who says
"Reform it!"
We just show him who's boss,
His loss,
No way!
No!
We're gonna slim down
Tomorrow
So just come and watch us change
Tomorrow,
Not today
Tomorrow! Tomorrow!
We'll diet tomorrow!
That's always The Congress way!
We're gonna cut back
Tomorrow,
Toss those earmarks out the door
Tomorrow,
We'll be strong!
We're passin' on pork
Tomorrow,
Say goodbye to needless treats
Tomorrow,
They were wrong!
When we open the bank
To thank
A donor,
When we fudge all the rules
We're fools,
We'll pay!
So...
We're gonna be good
Tomorrow
You won't even notice us
Tomorrow
Let us pray!
Tomorrow! Tomorrow!
Salvation tomorrow!
That's always
The Con...
Gress...
Way!
