To interrupt tea party revels,
Just point out that current tax levels,
Are the lowest in years,
Then confirm your fears,
As you’re labeled a spawn of the devil’s.

Pi-tea Party
Sunday, April 18th, 2010Representation about Taxation
Friday, April 16th, 2010I don’t mean to come off a square,
But most think their taxes are fair,
But if you’re Fox News,
You are not amused,
So this news does not make the air.
Electoral Insecurity
Sunday, February 7th, 2010Yesterday’s limerick dealt with local budgeting in the tiny burg of Los Angeles. Today we take a more “macro” look at budgeting. From TPM:
House Republicans don’t have an official budget yet. But they have what amounts to a first draft. The official budget will be released in March or April and will be authored by Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), the ranking member of the House Budget Committee in consultation with the other Republicans on the Committee. But Ryan has released a budget he’d like. And it’s actually fairly detailed. And if you read it, which we have, you start to wonder why Democrats aren’t making a bigger deal out of it.
What’s in it? A few interesting things.
First, it calls for big cuts in Social Security benefits for everyone currently under 55 years of age. On top of the cuts it also calls for privatizing Social Security.
It’s already become a near surety,
When we’re talking of Social Security:
GOP wants it cut!
Excuse me, say what?
Hope this leads to their party’s obscurity.
Schwarzenneger’s Gambit
Thursday, January 14th, 2010With his ratings right down in the ditch,
Schwarzenneger has found a new pitch:
‘Stead of taxing our gas,
Just stop paying for class!
Yup, that reads like the old bait-and-switch.
