Billions of dollars spent in the 1960's on social engineering solutions to America's problems. Trillions proposed now. Can't we learn anything from history? Apparently not.
The Great Society has returned Its leader now not LBJ But Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. His hair all white; his ideas frayed It didn't work then, it won't work now 'Coz it's not a matter of know-how The old 'War on Poverty' needs be the new War on Crime The same mistake made back then, and now this time A society with a law-and-order breakdown Invites demagogic rule and more violence It needs to be met with a strong, firm hand Not with 'Defund-the-Police' or just silence Good, high-paying union jobs, old Joe proposes So we can ruin infrastructure like we've ruined education With their shouts of racism, injustice, and inequity Our well-paid teachers keep kids out of classrooms as long as can be I could go on and on here, but what's the use Once government unions take over, incompetence breaks loose
