A Conservative Shouts No

Bill's a conservative 
upset that Meals on Wheels
and Medicaid face possible 
cuts in America's budget.

He yells to colleagues
who also have money that 
we shouldn’t mess with 
elderly folks who depend
on one good meal a day and 
shouldn’t say no to the poor 
when they need a doctor.

Making these cuts won't make
America Great Again.
Making these cuts will make 
America sadly inhumane.
Let’s break some day-old bread
with the old and poor and 
revise that budget again.
