Dollars From Washington

Dollars from Washington, falling so free, please tell me quick, where did you buy that money tree. I have to write Santa, and add this to my list, oh this is amazing, how good can things get. Money, money, money, under my tree, there is plenty for you, and plenty for me. All these trees, have been tucked away, but now they are blooming, by Washingtons way.... Now don't hold your breath, while waiting on your tree, it may get intercepted, by a corporation of greed.

Amen. My husband is a veteran who was disabled by a VA hospital. We won his disability case 2 1/2 years ago still waiting for them to settle. Spent 14 plus years fighting and waiting. I hope they shake they're branches this way soon! But then again, wouldn't want to see those corporate leaders lose their mansions so we can afford frivilous things like food and oil this winter. Great write. Love Robin
