CAT Tracks for March 27, 2015
NO EMPATHY FROM OLD FOLKS? |
Well, if one needed a reminder...
"Compassionate Conservatism" (if it ever really existed as more than a sound bite) is dead too.
From KFVS TV Channel 12
Senate OKs Republican balanced-budget plan, following House
CAT Tracks Editor's Note:
Or, as the old and bitter pre-visitation miser Ebenezer Scrooge would say in a modern-day cable remake of A Christmas Carol: "F*ck the surplus population...they need to hurry up and DIE, DIE, DIE!"
As the "credits" for the passage of this bill roll...
...our musical background is again provided by The Beatles:
Working into Friday's pre-dawn hours, senators approved the blueprint by a near party-line 52-46 vote, endorsing a measure that closely follows one the House passed Wednesday. Both budgets embody a conservative vision of shrinking projected federal deficits by more than $5 trillion over the coming decade, mostly by cutting health care and other benefit programs and without raising taxes.
Have you seen the little piggies
Crawling in the dirt?
And for all the little piggies
Life is getting worse
Always having dirt to play around in
Have you seen the bigger piggies
In their starched white shirts?
You will find the bigger piggies
Stirring up the dirt
Always have clean shirts to play around in
In their styes with all their backing
They don't care what goes on around
In their eyes there's something lacking
What they need's a damn good whacking
Everywhere there's lots of piggies
Living piggy lives
You can see them out for dinner
With their piggy wives
Clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon
(One More Time)
Sadly, it's a rich eat poor world out there...
...and getting worse all the time.
