dancing on the debt ceiling

see note for reviewers.

heard ENOUGH about the debt ceiling yet?

have you been beaten over the head with

FEAR

as a citizen of this american empire that

spreads both its hands (a baton in each)

to pummel all those on this planet

(with the exception of china who holds our purse strings)

into submission

squeezing the natural resources from every country

that has them

so that they all flow within our borders

& yet

we still have no universal healthcare

we still have 14.1 million people out of work

we still have teachers being laid off & educational programs being

cut

we still have state governments continuing to crush unions

we still have “400 obscenely wealthy individuals who have more cash, stock and property than the assets of 155 million americans combined"

etc.

 

now,

while the average american sits home & listens to the buzz phrase

every hour on the hour

trembling as to whether they will get their social security checks, veteran’s checks & disability checks

on august 3^rd

the day after “the government goes into default” because “there may simply not be the money in the coffers to do it,”

mr. obama

has raised $86 million dollars of his overall goal of exceeding $750 million

that his campaign raised in 2008

mitty r. pulled in $18 million in the past three months

while the doorknob dubbed “the most boring man in the united states” by many,

timmy p. was somehow able to get $4.2 million from some of the dumbest americans in the US---

add that to how much money we are spending daily to

bury

our

head

in the

sand

in afghanistan, iraq & libya,

then throw in billions we give israel every year in economic aid from the foreign aid budget & loan guarentees,

as well as the billion that pakistan gets every year so that we can keep supplying the

war in afghanistan,

etc.

etc.

etc.

apparently keeping our absurdly overblown & drawn out election race, all of our wars

going & money given to countries that exist outside our borders

is more important than the welfare of our population here at

home

(with the exception of 400 fortunate elites)---

so get some popcorn

& practice your best dance moves

when you turn on the television to watch our president &

all the dirty bloody hands that run our country

dance on the ceiling---

you can even turn on lionel richie & sing along

throwing in the word “debt” when appropriate---

together,

we can watch this place

wither &

die.

Author's Note

“Oh what a feeling
When we’re dancing on the ceiling”

-from the song Dancing on the Ceiling, by Lionel Richie

“I am so sick of hearing about ‘yer leaders spent yer hard earned tax dollars so you the people now have to tighten your belts and we gotta start payin’ this back, because we, yer leaders, misspent your money.’ You know what’d make tightening my belt a little easier? If I could tighten it around Jesse Helms’* scrawny little chicken neck.”

-Bill Hicks
*please feel free to replace the now dead Helms’ with your favorite living
bloodsucking liar
