These days, every time you turn on the TV, or listen to the radio while driving, or open a newspaper, someone is talking about the Deficit.

One thing everyone agrees on, is that it is NOT a Good Thing,

What they don't agree on, is what to do about it.

Some say we need to Raise Taxes so the Government wil have more Revenue

Others say, No if we Raise Taxes the Economy will slow down even more than it has, that to increase Revenue we need to Lower Taxes and grow the Economy,

Now they BOTH can't be Right, but they BOTH are

DEAD WRONG

If increasing Tax Revenue would fix this problem there would be NO Problem

For generations the American People with very few exceptions have been sending more money each year to Washington than the year before

And for generations with very few exceptions Washington has spent more money than we sent them

So sending Washington more Money is

NOT WORKING

There is only one solution,

Washington must STOP spending more money than we send them

But they find that distasteful

So here we are STUCK

In the Gears of the Government.

Just like Charlie of the MTA

The Man Who Never Returned

Yes on the Natiional Level

On the State Level

On the Local Level

The Same Song can be sung.

To Paraphrase

Citizens of Linn County

Don't You Think It's A Scandal

That the People Have to 

Pay and Pay

If we Pass the LOST Extention

Will Our Money  Be Returned

Or Will It's Fate Always Be Unlearned

No It May Never Return 

It Will Never Return

And It's Fate Will Be Unlearned

It Will Set Forever 

In The Hands of the City

And Our Money Will Never Return
