| | | | | You got the shaft - a poltical rap | | | You got the shaft
that's a matter of fact
your budget aint' standin' pat
due to all the crap
from Wall Steet to the IRS
it's nobodies guess
they will rob you're ass
and leave you in a mess
The budget is bro bro ro ken
no I ain't tokin and I ain't jokin
The budget is bro bor broken
truer words never been spoken
The school budgets don't have enough
The welfare underfunded - that makes it tuff
Airport budgets have no money
To spend on airport security
The wealthy few got the cash
while everyone's budget turns to trash
we can't afford a war, can't afford gas for the car
we can't afford the dream, untied we fall
it'll soon be over and over for all
but the wealthy few, still standing tall.
yo - you all.
You can't get it back, that's a matter of fact
I don't care if you're Republican or Democrat
If you try, you will be smashed like a rat
that'll be the end of you, that be the end of that.
Reality ain't so cool, now that the wealthy rule
politics play us all for the fool, while dreamers drool
because they drive alone and don't car pool
the budget is bro bro broken, like a broken stool
the fix-it man has no tool. |
| Poltical Perspective - National Budget. | | | The USSR ( now Russia ) finally faced the reality that their arms race to create a big military was distructive to their budget an taking away form other things that they needed to do.
The U.S. did not face that same reality. But now it seems that our military adventures into Iraq and other places is being distructive to our national budget and the over-all economy of our country..
Super-sizing the military is supported by down-sizing other internal expendatures.
If we let our self go too far downhill we become a poor country, then we will have nothing left to defend with all our super-techno arms, except for some poor people and thier some outdated junk. |
| Politics of the family budget. | | | The average American views the status of our economy though the lens of thier family budget.
All canidates are hearing that and have responded with speeches.
The high cost of living is blamed, and the high cost of the war in Iraq is being blamed.
Today Obama addressed the cost of our war in Iraq, noting that the cost of oil has gone up drastically over the past 5 years due to that war.
But he hit on an important observation. The cost of the war in Iraq is mostly due to how the war was conducted, and due to how money was wasted in the war effort that could have been avoided if the war had been more wisely directed by the Bush directives. The mass amount of money that was transferred to private contractors such a Haliburton.
He got three thumbs up from me for mentioning Haliburton and about how money was wasted by over-paying them. Other money spent to hire private companies for reconstruction and for private security companies such a Blackwater. Giving Haliburton a blank check and letting them fill in what us taxpayers owe them was a big misstake.
Meanwhile Hillary Clinton also addressed the economy. Health insurance comes right out of eveyone's home budget. Even if you are healthy you still want coverage just in case something unexpected happens, and the cost of health insurance is high, especially for people who have a private business such as a farm, and cannot join a "group coverage" plan. To safeguard the family budget most voters know that affordable health insurance is a must-do solution for bringing down the cost of living for the average worker. And as news of high priced gasoline continues people are feeling the pinch of that and it hurts the family budget. The desire to find cheaper fuels or vehicles that get more per gal is on every bodies mind. Alternative fuels has become a popular suggeston and Clinton is of course an advocate of that.
Buying and selling real estate is also a factor along with home ownership.
The biggest political issue is now about the family budgets of those concidered to be mainstream Americans.
Once people had more control over managing their budgets to make ends meet. But they are loosing that sense of personal control as the cost of living continues to get out of control, and they are now looking to canidates to come up with answers and to help make America an affordable country to live in. And to remove some of the nails that might give the family budget a flat tire. |
| Political Perspectives | | | I am revamping the purpose of this blog so that I can give my insights into politics and the current election, and as a blog concerning stories aired at CNN news.
I will be adding my viewpoints here as time progresses. |
| On a silly afternoon. | | | If some silly afternoon you in the blue
I will come back to you.
Just thought you shoud know
Like the sun friendships always glow.
Here in a song or on a distant shore
Just thought you should know.
Purple trutles changing colors in the snow
as we watch the blood from our hearts flow
like sunsets through our windows
we thank creation for the show.
The Lion's fire consumes the sun
into crystals that sparkle like rainbows.
Hear the stawberry mystery in the echo
For the mystery has no doors.
Thank creation for the show.
So when you are free and don't really want to know
we will come to you with our show.
From the dark shadows far below
the sun will rise and the winds will blow.
Shelter from what frendships can distroy
patching some old broken toy.
With hopes and dreams that we shall employ
those discarded treasures of a girl and boy. |
