The Government Has NO Money

The Government Has NO Money

The View from the Middle

The plain truth is, our government has no money!

So how it spends so much seems almost funny.

We, unfortunately, are the source of their cash,

But they spend without care thus treat us like trash.

They lavish themselves with first class air and healthcare,

And waste on treadmills for shrimp and bridges to nowhere.

They use OUR money for bribes when in a bind,

The Cornhusker Kickback should come to your mind.

They slyly take your money, and that’s a fact.

Then they seem so gracious when they give some back.

They take it from your paycheck, right under your face.

They have totally forgotten it was yours in the first place.

Their budgets are automatically increased,

While OUR salaries have dropped and raises have ceased?

They don’t put their plans and departments to a test.

They just take even more and borrow the rest.

They don’t respect what they get from our taxes.

A Billion dollars means nothing to these jackasses.

They get numb to the excess, as if they’ve been drinking.

They’ll blow all our money without even blinking.

What will we tell our kids about all this debt?

We were too thoughtless to even leave them a net?

We’ve spent their futures before they were born.

Will they treat us with honor or view us with scorn?

But there is a solution.  Vote these bums out!!

Term limits would help and of that there’s no doubt.

We have the power if we would choose to use it.

But if we don’t vote or think, we will certainly lose it.

Whatever we do we must act real fast.

There is an example we can take from our past.

The greatest generation really answered the call.

Or will we go down as the most selfish of all?
