Promises Made, Promises Kept - Give Me a Break
We know --- because they promise us their - 'virtuous intent' - when allocating funds is always - 'currency well spent' -
That supersedes all arguments of basic - 'common sense'...despite the fact the cost accrued for every buck they print
Adds, of course, another layer of debt to what, today, stands at what, without a doubt - regardless what they say...
Guarantees our kids will fail to ever find a way to cover just the interest on a bill they'll never pay...
That literally every "cause" they swear they need our money for...every dime for which they so persistently implore....
Will, of course, improve our lives and win our fiscal war...until they - reappropriate - then plunder billions more!
I have a few books of verse and a few audio-CDs of verse available at writerofbooks.com
