Omnibus Spending Bill

There was a Crooked Congress that Rode a Crooked Train

The crazy clock that is Washington just keeps a spinning

The DC time piece resets every four years, so a new countdown is only beginning

With the Celebrity Apprentice in charge and Moondoggie as his assistant the formerly smug democrats are scheming frantically for their political lives

Grasping at hearsay, conspiracy theories, and looking for new leadership while hoping anyone survives

Enlisting the aid of partisan appointed federal judges in a desperate attempt to head Trump off at the pass

Or at least keep him at bay while escaping Washington in anything powered by reliable gas

All the talk is centered on the frenzied USAID spending projects when members of congress are guilty of earmarking their own pork projects

The massive 2741 page OMNIBUS spending package approved in 2022 included more that 4000 earmarks over 360 pages that no one inspects

No one read it. No one cared. The blatant money grab was so the elected officials could say “look what I did for you”

Majority Leader, Chuck Schumer himself was connected to 142 earmarks not caring once for the American citizens he was about to screw

Like swarming guppies at feeding time most of congress threw their personal requests into the package

Making a yes vote be heard when the pork heavy package is put to a vote and the democrats had the advantage

So the special interests and their various contractors were gearing up with champagne and caviar for their “party favors”

Spending the little guys money and treating them like suckers, this is the kind of function Washington savors

And all this pork was rolled into the spending bill under the guise of keeping the federal government from shutting down

While the rest of the world stands around with their hand held out waiting for cash from the biggest ATM around

Milking the Americans has potentially reached the end of the line

Flooding the US with migrants was all by design

Control the peasants with small government benefits and little to call their own

Was the aim of Washington and the power behind the throne

But Biden short-circuited and his replacement couldn’t cobble together a coherent thought

And the once formidable gravy train came to a screeching halt, ruined by a lust for power, greed, and two people that couldn’t be bought

Merry Christmas Taxpayers, Here’s A 1.7 Trillion Debt Just For You

In 1869 Leo Tolstoy published the first complete edition of “War and Peace.” At 1225 pages the novel is reasoned to be a very long read.

It’s been estimated the average person would take 32 hours to finish causing many a literary student’s eyes to bleed

Considered by many to be one of the finest novels ever written, one doesn’t sit down and expect to complete the reading in a couple of days

At close to 4200 pages the new Omnibus spending bill is over three time longer than “War and Peace”and presented to Congress with only three days to read and appraise

In the movie All The Presidents Men, the deep throat character advised the reporter, “these are not very bright guys.” The same holds true for this group of lawmakers

Because most have to use their fingers and move their lips when reading, interns are hired to read the legislation and break down the language for these so called movers and shakers

The current Omnibus Spending Bill cements their place at the public trough for next year’s Congressional session

Ensuring the taxpayers’ great grandkids a Christmas present of untold debt and freedom supression

What’s another trillion among friends? Belly up to the bar with your list of pork demands

Bring in an outsider in a t-shirt to tell Americans they haven’t paid enough for his failings as he parades around playing to the grandstands

Pay federal lawyers a couple of billion to continue their paper trail for the January 6th Kabuki play

But don’t give a dime to the southern border as the migrant surge continues to feast on taxpayers seemingly unending buffet

“I often think how unfairly lifes good fortune is sometimes distributed” laments Leo Tolstoy in “War and Peace”

The quote still holds true 150 years later as Congress continues to greedily slurp the gravy at the public trough and the taxpayers they continue to fleece

So amid the shouts of joy from the great grandchildren on Christmas morning will be the biggest present of all unseen under the tree

The bill for 1.7 trillion and all the future bleakness and tragedies happily passed along by the current powers that be
