Pork

The congressional stork
Delivered to Wall Street
$700 billion of pork,
To get the bill through,
Congress voted for it
After they took $112 billion
Home to grease voters a bit,
Burdening our country
With unnecessary expenses,
Bringing bacon to their districts
To fix their political fences,
For this tax payers and
Foreclosed home owners bleed
To help the banks and Wall Street,
Those swindlers who created this need,
Thus, the US went from
Five trillion dollars in assets
To ten trillion dollars in debts,
With the dollar's value
Down fifty percent,
And if they print more money,
The dollar may fall to one cent,
And for added enjoyment
We now have a 6.1% unemployment
But, friends, have good cheer,
The way things are going,
They predict up to 11% next year.
