And the women come out to cut up what remains,

Jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains

I guess we must be swimming in money, huh? We must have all the money we need for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and Food Stamps? There must be plenty of money to replace bridges, dams, highways and various other bits of our crumbling infrastructure. Plenty of money to build new schools, complete with state of the art computer and science labs. Money for college loans for everyone who qualifies and wants to attend and all those who need to retrain. Extra money for new Post Offices and libraries. Enough money to hire all the teachers, police and firemen that we need. All the money for our veterans, their families and hospitals that is needed. All the money that we need for scientific research into new methods for clean power and a new green economy? Do we have the money for all of that and more?

The fascists in Congress want to end Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid and take that money that you paid into those programs and spend it on more wars. Will you let them do it, America?

And Finally
