With all the hubbub in Washington D.C. over a new president and the budget busting Congressional spending packages that will only hurt the country we've got a new band playing there. The name of the band is "Princess Pelosi and the Socialist Sisters". Their backup musicians are "Harry Reid and the Congressional Thieves."

Their orchestrations (machinations?) include many old titles, a few of which are:

Printing Money Is Easy, Spending It Is Fun
Spend, Spend, Spend
Tax Them Til They Scream
Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, We Won
We Know Better Than You Do
Pork is Our Favorite Dish
Voters Don't Matter
Where Can We Find More Money
We Wanna Live Like Europe
Socialism Forever, As Long As We're In Charge
Back In The USSA
You Have No Rights At All
We're Coming To Take It Away
Fairness Means You Have No Say
The Media's On Our Side
These titles should sound familiar since they've been singing the same old songs for many years, trying to get us to listen and believe. Now that they have gotten their dream of power they are singing louder than ever and determined that their ideas will improve life for all. Wrong again! They are touting change' in the government, but they didn't let on that the change would be for the worse, with no change left in our pockets to even pay for parking.

What we really need is a massive recall election, if people can recall what that means, to replace all the lawyers and liberals that are working to destroy our country and take away our rights. Replace them with people who won't be corrupted and try to kill capitalism through nationalization, or at least with trained rodents that will obey orders. None of the current crop know how to run a business, build a car, design a healthcare plan that works, clean the air and water, or effectively manage to stay within a budget. The Bozos in there now can't even manage to pay their own taxes on time. Business people know that you can't spend your way out of debt! Once the bank account is empty we aren't allowed to keep spending, and neither should politicians.

Those in Washington, singing those same tired old tunes, [off key and out of touch with reality] need to be taught a lesson in economics and proper behavior in an elected office. Those people didn't get into those offices by themselves, but they sure seem to think they did! We need shorter terms allowed, greater oversight and control over our elected officials, and recall elections to drive them out of town, preferably on a rail, when they don't do what we tell them. Right now they think we work for them and must do as they say. This is because we aren't in there, kicking their fannies when they take off on a tangent.

We need to force them to quit spending money our many-times great grandchildren haven't yet earned, get a line-item veto (with a huge red pen!), elect people that will remember who they work for, and take back our freedom that so many fought for in the beginning. We have people fighting for us, and our way of life, right now! Are they being respected and treated well?

Our country was once a great place to live and work. We weren't being taxed to death, and beyond, and we weren't losing jobs to other countries because of congressional and union greed. Now we have both and are suffering the consequences of letting elected officials have too much power. They've gotten drunk on it and are acting like drunken hippos, throwing their weight around in the money pool and splashing much of it toward their special interest buddies. Let's take the hot air out of them before their gasses ignite and take our country, and us, down like the Hindenberg.
