Pork Is Alive And Well In D.C.

Required reading by all taxpayers should be first and foremost The Pig Book

Outrageous examples of wasteful spending the earmarks from our pockets took

Both Reds and Blues are guilty of the earmark game

But the Reds deserve most of our blame

We gave them control of the Senate based in part on their solemn vow

That earmarks would be a thing of the past, no way no how

What fools we voters are to in these hacks believe

That somehow we finally would see them real spending cuts achieve

Too many Senators believe they are like Roman Emperors of old

Their districts are the Coliseums where earmarks are the entertainment to the voters backing hold

Of all the Senators Bob Cochran is the absolute worse

The “King of Pork” with hundreds of earmarks ripped of the federal purse

In the same way the Chicago PD operates with respect to its violence with the silence code

Senators are like lobbyists, you pass my earmark and I’ll vote to make sure  yours receives its full money load  

Thanks to these gutless wonders, we are incurring debt at a rate we cannot sustain

Almost all of them do not have the will or courage to runaway spending contain

When interest rates rise the party will be over as interest payments will most discretionary spending curtail

At 19 trillion dollars of national debt each 25 basis points rise, 47.5 billion more in costs is the fine print detail

From defense to whatever worthy social programs, the train of prosperity and security is going to be derailed

Social Security will be going broke with all the disasters to the seniors that such failure will entail

We will be at a point where even if we tax the billionaires and millionaires at 100 percent

In reducing our deficit or our national debt we will be making not the slightest dent

The national food holiday on April 15 is another form of pork, glazed ham

Highly symbolic as our spending spree politicians the dreams of our children and grandchildren completely slam
